Our Story

Crafting quality woodwork in the heart of Ukraine, welcome to Koloda, where tradition meets craftsmanship and passion!

We started in early 2024 on Etsy with our innovative folding oak ladders, carefully designed and tested. Our patented mechanism and high-quality craftsmanship have delighted customers worldwide. We also sell our products on Etsy under the store name KolodaShopUA. Both stores are owned by the same business and operate to provide the best service and quality to our customers.

With two workshops and years of experience, we create wooden products that blend beauty, reliability, and comfort — from ladders to tables and benches.

Our goal is to bring the warmth and style of handcrafted woodwork to homes across the globe, creating cozy, beautiful spaces.

Based in a picturesque town in western Ukraine’s Lviv region, we are proud to share our passion and craft with the world. Explore our collections and bring a piece of Koloda craftsmanship into your home.

  • Orest

    Orest is the inventor of folding ladders. His grandfather and father were carpenters, so from early childhood he was always crafting something out of wood. Over the years, Orest grew into a designer of reliable, practical, and exclusive wooden products. Sun loungers, ladders, shelves, unique gift sets — this is his element. He is a truly talented creator.

    Orest has a wife and two children. Today, he is defending our country, Ukraine, on the front lines. We pray for his safe and speedy return. Meanwhile, we continue to produce and share his exclusive creations with the world.

    Our second team member is Volodymyr. Volodymyr is an athlete and a Master of Sports in karate. He often names his creations using terms inspired by the world of karate. Gifted in furniture making, he does everything himself — from designing and sketching to transforming wood into true masterpieces.

    For many years, he has been creating furniture that is now used in restaurants, bars, and private homes, serving people reliably for a long time. Volodymyr has exceptionally high standards for both quality and appearance. He also has two children and a wife, who supports him in the production process.
