Equilibrium Lifestyle began in 2020, during the first lockdown, with a simple but meaningful idea. While decluttering at home, I came across a collection of beautiful upholstery fabric remnants left over from past projects. The pieces were too good to throw away, yet too small to use in the same way again.
At the time, I had my own meditation cushion in the room and realised it was the perfect place to begin. What if those forgotten fabrics could be repurposed into something useful, beautiful and lasting? That one thought became the starting point for what would later grow into Equilibrium Lifestyle.
My love of old pieces and traditional craftsmanship has always been part of the story. I grew up watching my father restore antique furniture and upholster chairs and sofas, and that’s what later inspired me to learn traditional upholstery myself after moving to the UK. From an early age, I learnt to appreciate the beauty of
well-made things and the value of giving them a second life.
That same way of thinking still shapes Equilibrium Lifestyle today. Alongside handcrafted pieces made from rescued and responsibly sourced materials, I also source decorative antiques, vintage treasures and characterful finds that deserve to be appreciated all over again.
For me, it has never just been about buying new. It is about choosing pieces with care, objects that bring beauty, meaning and a sense of story into our homes and everyday lives.
In the early days, I was fortunate to have the support of my talented friend Sarah, whose skill and eye for quality craftsmanship helped shape the first collections. Her influence remains part of the story, particularly in the attention to detail and care that continue to define the brand today.
As Equilibrium Lifestyle has evolved, so has the way we work. I now collaborate with skilled makers and small businesses who share the same values around quality, thoughtful design and mindful making.
Hello! I’m the founder of Equilibrium Lifestyle, and the brand brings together so many of the things I care about most: craftsmanship, beautiful interiors, mindful living, and a more thoughtful approach to the things we choose to surround ourselves with.
My background comes from a love of antiques and vintage finds, traditional upholstery, and a deep appreciation for objects that have character, purpose and lasting value. Creativity was always present in my family, and both of my parents shaped the way I see the world. Much of what defines Equilibrium Lifestyle today, a deep love of beauty, resourcefulness and giving things a second life, all has its roots there.
Alongside that, I also bring a strong corporate background, having lived and worked in several countries and built an international career shaped by creativity, communication and connection. Being multilingual and influenced by different cultures has given me a broad perspective and a lasting appreciation for craftsmanship, beauty and the stories objects can carry.
Over time, that passion grew into a broader vision, one that combines handcrafted and upcycled pieces with carefully sourced decorative antiques and vintage treasures.
Equilibrium Lifestyle is about more than products. It is about creating and collecting with intention, supporting small businesses, embracing circularity, and giving materials and objects a new lease of life. I want every piece to feel meaningful! Something chosen not just for how it looks, but for how it makes a home feel.
Alongside this work, wellbeing has also been an important part of my own journey, which is why calm, beauty and balance continue to sit at the heart of the brand.
At Equilibrium Lifestyle, our mission is rooted in circularity, mindful living and a deep respect for craftsmanship, community and the natural world. We believe in giving beautiful materials and objects a new lease of life through rediscovering, reusing, repurposing and upcycling wherever possible. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint in ways that are both meaningful and viable for our business, while encouraging more conscious choices and showing that even small actions can add up to real change.
We also believe that sustainability goes beyond materials alone. This is why we work with local, like-minded businesses wherever possible, and why we are proud to support The Ocean Cleanup. You can find out more and get involved via our dedicated pledge page.
