Lupine Nox is a design and plant dyeing project by Ira Heikkinen and Enni Heinä, featuring a mini collection of two outfits made from natural materials dyed with garden lupines. The project was supported by the Environmental Protection Department of the City of Tampere. The outfits draw inspiration from the feeling of liberation and the hazy mystique of bright summer nights. The project was presented at the Tampere Architecture & Design Week in the autumn of 2022.

Serene Nox is an installation that invites the viewer to disconnect from the surrounding noise and take a moment of calm with the colors, forms, and sounds of nature. Textiles dyed with garden lupines, tansy, and nettle form a multisensory artwork, which was exhibited during Tampere’s TAD Week in autumn 2023.
