The Koivu products combine first-class Finnish wood craftsmanship and functionality. The plant pots, space dividers, framed moss and lichen boards, and green walls of the Koivu collection are designed as well as manufactured on demand in Finland from Finnish birch plywood.

A union of beauty and functionality

The Koivu products are a masterpiece of Finnish wood craftsmanship: they are beautiful to look at and stand the test of time. They represent a more sustainable approach to our industry and are the choice of environmentally conscious decorators. The timeless design makes Koivu products suitable for various spaces and styles, and the collection offers a wide range of solutions.

Sustainable green design with Koivu products 

It all started with the Koivu plant pots, driven by a desire to create more sustainable green design solutions. We demand more from our pots than just a beautiful design - they have to be safe, stable, and manufactured and transported sustainably. When we couldn’t find a partner that aligns with our values, the solution was clear: we would have to make the pots ourselves.

The first Koivu pots were completed in the spring of 2022 and to our delight, they were warmly received. Thanks to its great popularity, the Koivu product family expanded in the fall 2023. Now, in addition to plant pots, there are moss and lichen boards, space-dividing planters, and a birch-framed green wall available providing a wider variety of choices to green interior.

The Koivu products are designed and manufactured in Finland from Finnish birch plywood in cooperation with local producers and wood processing professionals. The products are manufactured only on demand and therefore not one pot is ever wasted. Compared to pots manufactured abroad, the journey of our Koivu pots from the factory to our clients is quite short.

Introducing the Koivu product family

Plant pots

The Koivu pot series includes pots in various sizes. They can be used in many ways – for example, as space-dividers, individual pots or pot arrangements. You can choose pots with wheels, short legs or high legs. Arrange and combine different Koivu pots to create unique compositions.

Thanks to the flexibility of birch plywood the pots are virtually seamless, and the natural grain of the wood makes the surface of each pot unique. Birch plywood makes the pots light, but also stable and solid, durable, and suitable for transfer.

The Koivu pot is delivered together with an Orthex planting pot made of 100% recycled plastic. Our experts are happy to help you in selecting the size, shape, color, and legs of the Koivu pot. Local production and a short supply chain means the pots can be manufactured quickly on demand. The estimated delivery time for the pots from the time of order is one month. Find out all the options below!

Moss and lichen boards

Green, long-lasting moss walls and installations have been captivating and steadily gaining popularity for a decade now. In addition to custom moss arrangements, you can now find ready-made, nature-inspired moss and lichen boards from our Koivu selection.

The lightweight boards are quick to hang on a wall and available in three different shapes: circle, square, and rectangle. Different size and shape options allow the boards to be placed in both large and small spaces. They can also be arranged in groups to create beautiful compositions. Stabilized moss and lichen stays green for years and is maintenance-free.

Green wall

The Koivu green wall brings together the timeless design of the Koivu pots and InnoGreen’s uncompromising patented green wall technology. You can hang the Koivu green wall on the wall as an eye-catcher, just like any other InnoGreen green wall. Alternatively, you can use the Koivu green wall as a double-sided room divider, which can be effortlessly moved from one space to another.

The Koivu green wall features up to 48 real plants and is safely watered with a sub-irrigation system. On the other side of the green wall, you can opt for a lush moss or lichen wall. Real plants require light to thrive, and for spaces with limited natural light, InnoGreen also provides suitable plant lights.

Leena Kinnunen’s Career Journey at InnoGreen

30.06.2024

Abundance, eesponsibility, and ease. InnoGreen’s green designer Leena Kinnunen tells about her leap into the world of greenery and sales and what is currently expected from green interior design.Having studied design, Kinnunen built a career as an interior designer. The pandemic prompted her to reconsider the direction of her career and the work-life balance. She aspired to find a fulfilling job that could be balanced with family life. Now, after a year at InnoGreen, Kinnunen describes her decision as “the best ever.”“InnoGreen has been exactly what I imagined and more,” Kinnunen begins. “They take care of their employees, everyone is on the same page. We respect and help each other, and there is genuinely a great atmosphere.”In addition to a positive work culture, Kinnunen highlights the importance of responsibility. InnoGreen takes concrete actions for a more sustainable green industry, such as discontinuing the sale of silk plants. While silk plants are still used in challenging conditions in the green industry, InnoGreen stopped selling silk plants in early 2023.“Giving up silk plants was a really fantastic thing. It’s courageous to take the first step in the direction the entire industry should go and, at the same time, take the financial risk that silk plant buyers might go elsewhere. I think it shows that InnoGreen genuinely stands behind its values. When the goal is to be more responsible, it requires actions like these.”As a green designer, Kinnunen works as part of the sales team, and about half of her clients are interior architects and interior designers.“I speak the language of designers, so to speak. I understand our clients’ perspective, can read floor plans quickly, and grasp the goals and wishes of the client. Collaboration is pleasant and easy when there is a common understanding.”Kinnunen feels that a strong sales team consists of professionals with diverse backgrounds. While Kinnunen comes from the world of interior architecture, she finds it extremely rewarding to work with colleagues who have a longer career in the green industry. “We can learn from each other and bring different expertise to the implementations. This way, we can serve our clients in a very versatile manner. Even though the client mainly deals with me, they have the expertise of the entire staff at their disposal.”In her work, Kinnunen meets clients, visits spaces, creates plans on the computer, and occasionally puts her hands into the soil. Kinnunen says that as a designer, it’s crucial to see the entire service process and understand how her plan on paper becomes a reality in the hands of plant installers.“It is extremely valuable to see the work of our installers and plant care team. A successful implementation requires thoroughness from each of us, and I greatly appreciate the expertise of every InnoGreen employee. It’s eye-opening when I get to create moss panels, plant, and deliver plants to clients’ spaces myself. In my work, I get to see the whole picture and understand what we sell and how long each phase takes. We don’t just sell plants; we sell a service package and green experiences. Every detail must be taken into account.”Changing circumstances demand a transformation in the green industry Work has changed. Many companies have adopted a hybrid model, and the use of office spaces has evolved. The importance of the comfort of office spaces has increased, and spaces need to support collaboration and creativity.Kinnunen explains that currently, green interior design is expected to provide jungle-like abundance. Moss and large-leaved plants, in particular, are popular. Sustainability is also discussed more, and that’s why InnoGreen’s domestic Birch products are in high demand.Kinnunen predicts that the significance of green interior design will only grow in the future, and the reason is simple: an inviting space attracts people, whether it’s a workplace, shopping center, restaurant, or store. A professional green design plan, which considers the budget, desires, and space, serves as the starting point for successful green interior design.“Good green interior design reflects the space and its users. Green design is essential because plants are part of the decor. They significantly affect the atmosphere, comfort, and also communicate about the company,” Kinnunen says. “Green design is the key to sustainable greenery. One must consider the space conditions, choose suitable pots and other solutions for the space, and, of course, select the right plants in terms of species and size. In pots with several different plants, the importance of plant choices is emphasized as the plants should both look good together and be compatible.”Green interior design is also expected to be easy, and therefore, more people are hoping for a complete package including everything from design to maintenance. Traditionally, lush greenery has required a larger initial investment and made it challenging for some companies to acquire greenery. The tightened economic situation also makes new investments more challenging. That’s why all of InnoGreen’s indoor and outdoor products are now available as a flexible service.The monthly rental service does not require significant initial investments or a long commitment. The service includes design, products, plants, installation, maintenance, and at the end of the rental period, the removal of all items. Enjoying greenery is now easier than ever.“Many companies are now in constant change, and office spaces may change too. That’s why greenery as a service is an easy option. It scales according to need, and after an office move, there won’t be poorly maintained potted plants lying around,” says Kinnunen. “With the flexible monthly service, impressive, responsible, and welcoming greenery is available to an increasing number of people.”

InnoGreen’s stabilized plants and moss panels provide a sustainable alternative to plastic plants

11.09.2023

Plastic plants have often been seen as the only possible solution for spaces where living plants cannot thrive due to environmental conditions. InnoGreen, known for its green walls and innovative green decor solutions, decided to discontinue the sale of plastic plants starting from the beginning of 2023 and introduced stabilized plants instead. The stabilization method is already familiar to many through our lush moss walls. Moss enthusiasts have good news, as alongside customized solutions, InnoGreen is now launching striking birch-framed moss and lichen boards.
