Imagine a family sitting around an open fire, surrounded by animal hide-covered erected poles reaching towards the dark star-laden arctic sky above them.

The simple ingenious dwelling, or Kota, as it is known in Finland, was used by hunter gatherers and nomadic peoples in the Nordics for warmth and protection, as well as for it´s adaptability to an active and close-to-nature lifestyle.

At Kota2 we are influenced by our Nordic heritage and nature, as well as contemporary culture from around the globe.

Most people may now live a modern lifestyle in the city, but some of us still keep a close eye on the surrounding forests, mountains and seas, waiting for the right conditions to escape our urban surroundings and indulge ourselves in our favorite outdoor activities.

Our vision is to create sustainable well-designed products that will adapt seamlessly to your active lifestyle, whether you’re in Tokyo or Lapland.
