From Nummela with love


Saving the world is not easy. It is more difficult than eating an elephant. But do you know how to succeed in it? Bite by bite.
The designer Seija Lukkala has been working hard since 2003 to make the world better. Her Globe Hope Ltd. is perhaps the most well-known Finnish ecological design company with the lovely slogan ”The world does not suffer from the lack of material but the lack of mind”.

The idea of giving a new life to used materials and products by transforming them to clothes and accessories – and selling them, too - has not always been so easy but now the future looks bright. The demand for the sustainable design is growing as we are more and more aware of the significance of our decisions.

In May Globe Hope arrived in Helsinki and opened it´s first shop in Lasipalatsi building. Just drop in and see yourself. Even the interior is old: the old furnitures of Nokia rubber boot factory! You find there also the funny Secco products – the company was recently bought by Globe Hope.

Opening times are Mo-Fr from 10 am to 8 pm, Sat from 10 am to 6 pm.
