Faceted 3D tiles, catching the light.
Depth and movement, hour by hour.
More than just wood
EmotionWood has crafted eco-friendly wood design panels in Estonia since 2014, where nature and design meet in balance. Every panel is made by hand by skilled artisans, guided by Nordic values of quality and responsibility.
Which is why these panels aren't only a surface to look at. They're solid-wood panels that earn their place on the wall: acoustically, environmentally and for years.
Made in Estonia. Defined by quality. EmotionWood · Tallinn
Natural wood improves acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor climate, so spaces feel calmer, not just look richer.
Solid timber right through, not a veneer over board, so it can be cut, sanded and lived with.
A distinctive EmotionWood pattern, handcrafted and made to your order in Estonia: originality you can specify with confidence.
Eco-friendly production, with technical and installation data sheets: the paperwork trade and architect specs ask for.
Where it lives
Why it lasts
The Kota 58 is solid wood cut into a refined 3D geometry — small faceted tiles whose angles catch the light and throw soft shadow, so the wall shifts and moves through the day. A 120 × 765 mm panel that reads as one living, sculptural surface.
Pattern · 3D geometry
Each tile is cut into faceted planes set at slight angles, so light rakes across the surface and the wall reads differently through the day. Run panels edge to edge and the geometry flows unbroken.
Material · Solid natural wood
Solid timber, never veneer. Thermo finishes are kilned until stable and darker through the body; natural species keep their own raw colour.
Finishes · Six characters
From pale Ash and warm Thermoash to charred Impressa, deep Walnut and golden Iroko, the same geometry carries very different moods. Exclusive species are available on request.
Application · Indoor & sauna-safe
Thermo finishes handle a living-room feature wall and the heat-and-steam of a sauna interior alike. Natural finishes are for dry interior spaces.
Install · Glue or brad nail
Fix straight to a clean, level wall with a heat- and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. Work row by row; most rooms are clad in an afternoon.
Origin · Made in Estonia
Designed and made by EmotionWood in Tallinn, cut to your order and finished to the same standard before it is flat-packed and shipped.
The finishes
One panel, one pattern; the character comes from the wood. Every finish is solid, hand-finished timber, cut and laid by hand in Estonia.
Warm grey-brown thermo-treated ash. Stable in heat and steam, the tone running right through the wood.
Pale, natural ash with a soft, even grain. For dry interior spaces.
Natural oak with an open, characterful grain. For dry interior spaces. Swatch photo coming soon.
Charred charcoal finish with a smoky, textured face.
Deep, rich chocolate-brown walnut with dramatic grain. A premium natural species.
Golden-honey Iroko, an exclusive tropical hardwood with warm depth. An on-request exotic species.
Installation
Two honest ways to fix the panels: bond straight to a flat wall with adhesive, or brad-nail to battens. No specialist trade required: a clean wall, a level, and a steady row-by-row rhythm.
Best on a flat, dry, load-tested wall. No battens needed; the wall itself is the substrate.
The fastest route for a sound, level wall. A heat- and moisture-resistant silicone holds the panels flush with no visible fixings.
Best when the wall is uneven; the battens create a true, ventilated plane to fix into.
The forgiving route for walls that aren't dead flat. Straight, level battens give a true plane; stainless brads hold the panels invisibly at the joints.
Whichever way you fix them, start top-left, then work down and across so each row locks into the last.

Common questions
A real human is one click away, but most of what we get asked is right here.
Talk to a specialistEach pack holds 12 panels and covers about 1.0 m². Panels are 120 × 765 mm with a coverage of 0.084 m² each. Order by the pack, and allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and waste.
Yes, with a thermo finish. Thermo-treated finishes like Thermoash are made for heat and humidity and are used in sauna interiors. For wet areas, complete any wet works first and treat the wood with a breathable protector. Never pressure-wash the panels.
Each tile is cut into faceted planes set at slightly different angles. Real light catches those angles and casts soft shadow, so the wall has genuine depth and shifts as the light moves — not a printed or embossed texture.

Two ways: glue straight to a clean, level wall with a heat- and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. Work row by row from the top so the geometry lines up.
