The idea for the Valona of North collection was born on the slopes of the fells of Lapland, where the occasional reindeer herd is part of the landscape. The stark beauty and silence of the landscape has created a space for my thoughts and inspiration. I wanted to create a jewellery collection that pays homage to the northern nature.

At Valona, we make feather-light wooden jewellery, birch himmelis and seasonal decorations such as tree toppers. We are guided by the idea that beauty always has a value and a place.
This is reflected in the ambition to refine the product experience with integrity and precision, and the desire to create special experiences of beauty through our products.
Valona was founded in 2006 by designer Elina Mäntylä. We have been a limited liability company since 2018 when Markus Vihottula joined the company and turned from a mentor to an owner. Our office is located in Marjaniemi, Helsinki, but the design work travels with us in the archipelagos and the mountains of Lapland. We employ 2-5 employees, depending on the season, directly or through subcontractors across Finland. In addition to aesthetics, we value ecology. Birch, therefore, is the right choice of material for us. Our products are available in approximately 50 design and gift shops around the world. We strive for international growth because we believe in our products and want the ideology of ecological and responsible design to be accessible to anyone interested in Nordic design.
