Kotona is Finland’s first international digital media celebrating Nordic lifestyle—handmade happiness and delightfully different homes!
Kotona is an invitation to embrace the Nordic way of life—a life that celebrates simplicity, sustainability, and the beauty of the unexpected.
Finland, the happiest country in the world for eight years running, isn’t just about quiet forests, whimsical Moomins, and the Northern Lights putting on their own light show in Lapland. It’s also about homes where happiness is handmade and simplicity is sacred.
Finland has cracked the code on living well. It’s not about perfection or luxury, but about creating homes and lives that are functional, sustainable, and surprisingly joyful. Now, Finland is sharing its blueprint for happiness with the world through Kotona (Finnish for “at home”), the country’s first international digital media platform dedicated to the Nordic lifestyle: homes, cottages, saunas, design, renovating, DIY, and plants and gardening.
Join us on an adventure and dive into the beauty of the unexpected:
