Kiila Collection

Kiila is a family of useful and versatile small furniture objects designed with hallways and entrances in mind. In homage to Alvar Aalto’s vision, the Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken has created not a series of individual pieces, but a system of construction: hefty wooden legs connected by wedge-shaped metal joints, left purposefully visible. The name itself draws attention to the design: Kiila is Finnish for “wedge.” Secured with high-grade polyamide pins that double as hooks, the sturdy Kiila Coat Stand and Coat Rack can carry serious weight. Beautiful supporting elements for any interior, the Kiila pieces are built to last, a quality visually articulated in the strength of their legs and robustness of their parts.

"There is a very apparent logic to the Kiila series and I recognize this in Alvar Aalto’s designs too. These are products designed within the parameters of industrial manufacture, they are intended to be part of a system that can be repeated."
