About the Item
Kelohonka stools are not only visually striking, but also full of stories and the raw strength of nature. Kelohonka refers to dead but standing pine trees that have naturally dried and weathered over decades—or even centuries. This makes it a truly unique material for furniture, especially stools that blend practicality and natural beauty.
What makes kelohonka stools special?
• Unique appearance: Each stool is one of a kind. The weathered surface, cracks, and growth rings tell a story of time and endurance.
• Durability: Though the wood is dead, it’s extremely dry, lightweight, and surprisingly strong. When properly treated, it holds up well indoors.
• Eco-friendliness: Since the trees aren’t felled alive, using kelohonka is more sustainable than harvesting fresh wood.
• Atmosphere: Kelohonka brings a calm, northern mood to any space—like a slice of the Finnish wilderness in your living room.
Uses and styles
Kelohonka stools are particularly well suited for:
• Saunas and cottages, where a natural look is central.
• Modern homes as a rustic contrast to minimalist design.
• Decorative purposes, even if not used for seating—they also work as nightstands or plant stands.
Care and maintenance
Kelohonka is low-maintenance, but:
• Avoid moisture, which can weaken the wood.
• Dust with a dry or lightly damp cloth.
• If desired, a light wax or oil can be applied—but many prefer to leave it natural.
