Foolhouse is an enchanting emporium of Curious Goods concocted by Graphic Designer and Assemblage Artist Sarah Lamond. Founded on our signature product, Doorjam, inspired by Mary Poppins, a slimline height chart that fits in your door jamb and comes in a jam jar, Foolhouse’s creations are constantly evolving as Sarah explores the mysterious divide between artist & artisan, maker & merchant.
A vintage book alchemist, she rescues forgotten books to re-imagine them and keep them in circulation as instant family heirlooms and bookish artworks. Predominately known for her Secret Vintage Booksafes and Book Sculptures captured in glass cloches, her sustainable practice has won her the Storytellers Prize in Victoria’s Biblio Artprize and a place in the NSW Greenway Art Prize. By recycling these historical treasures, the heart-warming nostalgia of Sarah’s work forges an ethical twist with unexpected surprise.
All creations are designed and hand—crafted in Foolhouse’s studio in Sydney, Australia.
