In Finnish, kallio means rock. Kallio is also the name of Finland’s most urban district, in Helsinki. The heart of Kallio is a curious blend of urban lifestyle, cutting-edge design, and climate-conscious people. The spirit of Kallio is progressive and vibrant, so is its collection. Halti’s roots are in the northern climate and its stark extremes, so they have decades of experience in the ruthless arctic weather: nevertheless, the urban laws of nature can be just as fierce as the outdoor wilderness. That’s why they created Kallio®, a Nordic urban line with premium functionality and minimalistic elegance: Kallio® brings Halti’s frontrunning design into the urban scenery with passion, style and ease, so that you can go out into the world feeling unbeatable, especially when there’s a chance of wind and horizontal rain.
Hanna Koivula, designer of Kallio concept: “Kallio has always been one of the most influential sceneries of my everyday life. […] To me, the residents of Kallio and their gutsy sense of style is an endless source of inspiration. Creating something timeless, sustainable, and technically impeccable is not easy, but beyond rewarding. With Kallio®, I really wanted to challenge myself both technically and creatively. […] The future might feel uncertain, but one thing is for sure: today’s clothing innovations will affect us all and our children down the line. I’m happy to say Kallio became Halti’s most sustainable collection line yet. We’re definitively not going to get comfortable and stop here. […] When it comes to the functional features and innovations, Halti is an inevitable game changer on the market. I’ve had the thrill of creating from the best premium
materials and innovative ingredients – to accomplish my most ambitious work to date. I’m looking forward to seeing the clothes on the streets, mixed, matched and layered in all imaginable ways. Most of all, I hope you feel warm wearing them. Especially knowing that they’re all made from recycled materials, ready to serve in your wardrobe for a long time.”
