Our story

Innovation

Our story began with a crazy-sounding idea with a bunch of people who wanted to see the world differently. Our original idea was to make wooden tiles for the bathroom – just because it sounded fun and challenging. As we got acquainted with the industry, we soon realised that out idea was not only fun, but also important. It turned out that ceramics as a material is a burden on the environment, and it has a large carbon footprint. Inspired by our original idea and this insight, we are now here. As a result, we created an award-winning world-class biomaterial innovation – 100% waterproof Woodio® wood material.

Our story

“When we started, we were considered crazy.”

“When we started, we were considered crazy – you could see it people’s eyes. But we persevered.” laughs Petro Lahtinen, the founder and CEO of Woodio. “Both our material and product development have required exceptionally strong faith, but the best inventions often arise in exceptional circumstances. Our products are developed by a tremendous group of interdisciplinary experts, e.g., chemistry, materials science, electronics, boat building, composite and industrial design.” Petro continues.

Our story

Material of a new era

Now, the ideas that initially seemed impossible and very challenging have evolved into sustainable bathroom design and they have become part of thousands of homes around the world. At the same time, we have created a modern Finnish classic that will create joy for a long time. Today, our collection includes 17 different washbasin models, a bathtub, accessories and, most recently, a wooden toilet seat.
