In Danish and Nordic folklore, trolls are ancient beings of nature, living in forests, hills, and stone.
They are seen as quiet guardians of the wild, protectors of the land, rarely visible and mostly present in natural places.
With the arrival of spring, Easter in the Nordic countries marks a return to the outdoors. Families step back into nature, drawn by longer days, fresh air, and a slower rhythm of time together.
In a more contemporary way, this has also become a kind of “troll hunt.”
Danish artist Thomas Dambo reimagines these figures through large-scale sculptures made from recycled materials, placed quietly in natural settings across the world, from Denmark to places like High Point in the United States, where the hub of the furniture industry is located.
At TEXSTYLE, this connection between nature, culture, and materials resonate with our thinking.
Working with upholstery fabrics, we focus on more sustainable solutions, such as solution-dyed, recycled, and high-performance Outdoor yarns, creating designs that are made to last and carry a message of awareness.
Not everything needs to begin with something new.
Sometimes, it’s about seeing value in what is already there.
And making that moment matter.
