Why KOTi 28?
In Finnish, Koti means home, and at KOTi 28, we believe home should be a place of warmth, simplicity, and timeless design.
After spending two years teaching in Finland, our founder, Angie MacCrae, fell in love with the Scandinavian way of life—where beauty meets function and quality stands the test of time. In 2022, after a fulfilling 28-year career in education, Angie followed her passion and reimagined a retail space in her hometown of Arnprior, transforming it into KOTi 28.
Today, KOTi 28 is more than just a store—it’s a carefully curated collection of Scandinavian- and Canadian-made home décor and lifestyle goods. Every item reflects a love for natural materials, minimalist aesthetics, and intentional living. Whether you're searching for a cozy mohair throw, artisan-crafted accessories, or timeless Nordic design, KOTi 28 is here to bring a touch of Scandinavian charm to your home.
Welcome to KOTi 28—where every piece tells a story of craftsmanship, comfort, and home.
