Kotona Design | Coloured Notice Boards

Kotonadesign is a trade mark established in year 2004 by the Finnish designer Mia Battilana. Kotona is a Finnish word that means "at home". The most innovative product designed by Mia Battilana is the original notice board which is at the same time a magnetic board and a whiteboard. Mia Battilana's noteboards have been shown in numerous exhibitions in many countries - including the exhibition "Nordic Design" in 2009 at the Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea - and in short time the designer has become widely well-known for her creations. It all started from a left-over case in a workshop of a carpenter she knew. She was allowed to take as much left-over wood pieces with me as she was able to carry. And wasn’t she able! Wooden material which was meant to be burned found its way to useful products on refrigerator doors and notice boards. The notice boards are a combined magnetic- and whiteboard. There are many colours available and they alter yearly. The boards are available in many different sizes and they all have frames made of plywood. All products are handmade in Finland!
