Studio Miila Hyökki reuses discarded human hair fibers to explore material-driven design.
Each project starts from the physical and emotional qualities of the material, seeking possibilities where hair can be truly useful — valuing its strength, lightness, insulation, absorbency, and human connection. Through research, craft, and storytelling art, the studio gives new life to this overlooked material.
PLANT FERTILIZER
PLANT FERTILIZER
Tukkaruukku
is a fertilized plant pot made from human hair, lamb wool, and cement. Research shows that hair fibers help plants grow by gradually releasing nutrients, storing up to 30% water, and improving soil structure through tiny air pockets that let roots spread more easily.
Courses
Want to create your own hair bloom pot? Book a workshop slot at my studio! I’m excited to share my unique techniques for turning hair or fur into beautiful, living planters. All the materials you need are provided here. The felted hair or fur planter you make acts as natural fertilizer for your plants, and adding hair or fur from someone special makes it uniquely personal. So, bring your strands, your creativity and your friend too.
