The story of KOLO design
The home is in the middle of fields. The forest continues as far as the eye can see. The father takes his log splitter and shows in his workshop how to hold the tools in his hand. The boys learn to read a book about nature and do woodwork. Even as a little boy, Olli Lyytikäinen understands that Finnish wood is valuable. It hides secrets and wisdom within. In the boy's hands, wood takes on a new life and adapts to many different needs. Olli learns to carve a crossbow and builds furniture. Over the years, he explores many different ways to assemble wooden objects.
Olli takes on the challenge and makes a birdhouse that doesn't require any screws or nails. Gradually, the idea of a high-quality, easy-to-assemble product that can be delivered to the customer in a small postal package develops.
KOLO Design was born from the desire to create unique products that stand out from the crowd with their simplicity and environmental friendliness. When everything superfluous is stripped away from a product, the deepest essence of a wooden object is revealed. Only the most important thing remains - beauty and practicality. Simple is also energy efficient. That is why KOLO Design's products tell a story of a deep connection to Finnish nature. Unique, timeless wooden boxes are created to store everyday objects. In addition to objects, they also preserve values.
