Evolum is a glass-cutting design studio run by Jukka Isotalo in Helsinki. Since the late 1980s, Jukka has explored the environmental side of design and art. His crockery, lamps and sculptures are made from recycled glass bottles, reducing energy and use of resources while giving each piece a new life. At Nolla, our water glasses are his design — upcycled from old beer and soda bottles, with the transformation subtle enough that you only notice if you look closely.

Located in Marttila, Murtola Hemp Farm works alongside Murtola Organic Farm, focusing on organic hemp alongside peas, oats, malting barley, and clover. The farm produces high-quality Finnish hemp for food, animal feed, and natural cosmetics. The hemp is naturally rich in protein and omega fatty acids, and growing it supports soil health and sustainable farming practices.

Noora Karila is a Helsinki-based designer and artist who makes functional ceramic tableware. Her handmade pieces are a celebration of the natural and organic properties of clay, whenever possible making use of Finnish wild clay and colouring oxides. Minimalistic designs and expressive textures are united through both traditional and more experimental techniques. A deliberately slow manufacturing process means Noora carefully considers what gets fired, as well as how to recycle and repurpose leftover clay to minimise waste.

Our mise en prep t-shirts are made by Pure Waste, a circular fashion brand founded in Helsinki in 2013. They produce garments from 100% recycled fibers, mainly cotton, using 99% less water and 50% fewer emissions than conventional textiles. All manufacturing takes place in India under strict ethical standards, repurposing cotton by-products from the local garment industry.

Tauko is a Helsinki-based circular textiles studio led by designers Kaisa Rissanen and Mila Moisio. They designed our service shirts from old hospital linen, naturally dyed light pink with onion skins. Originally a fashion brand focused on ethical, timeless clothing, Tauko now shares their knowledge of making, caring for, and reusing textiles through publishing.

Vakka-Taimi is a specialist seedling grower run by Vesa Muurinen. What began as a small hobby nursery has grown into a wide-ranging collection of trees, shrubs, vines, and perennials. Alongside their core nursery work, Vakka-Taimi is actively trialling nut-producing species to see how they perform in the Finnish climate. Testing and observation are a central part of their work. The Muurila gardens, first planted in the early 1990s, now host more than 80 species and are open to visitors. Throughout the year, the garden holds seasonal events such as magnolia, rose and peony days, sharing knowledge and encouraging curiosity around plants that might shape future growing in Finland.
