Macrame designs

Making macrame from sustainable materials, working with hands, and working with the themes around sustainability are the artist's way to express and embody her soul’s purpose. All TAIKA creations have been made consciously with an intention as every knot seals a thought, and contributes to the attributes of the art piece.

Meet the maker behind TAIKA

The artist behind TAIKA is called Linda Mäkelä, born in the nordic lands of Finland. She started doing macrame jewellery some years ago during her travels in India, but her first macrame clothing was created out of a lack of a unique festival outfit a couple of years ago.

Her never ending curiosity, and need to create with her hands made her try out even more advanced styles and techniques after the first successful try out. After taking some time for prototyping, and crystalizing a possible concept of a brand that would be equivalent for her ethical values and promoting ideologies that she believes in, TAIKA was created.

Labour of love

"I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

For me, as a designer, it all started out as a 'labour of love', as a way to silence the mind and to let my soul speak. Giving a pattern to a raw formless matter, designing shapes and creating with my hands has been a passion of mine since I was little. Never had I though that one day it could be more than just a favourite occupation for me. When I met my soul, I found my purpose."
