The company's headquarters is located in Helsinki, Finland, where the product design also occurs.

History

Golla was established in the small rural town of Kolla, Finland in 1994, where it began producing design items such as CD stands and racks. One of these early models was sold in the gift shop of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Golla later designed protective cases for mobile phones. Its established collection helped draw Nokia as a partner,[3] and Golla became a subcontractor. After working with Nokia, Golla shifted its focus to carry solutions for all kinds of portable devices. Today Golla's products are sold around the world.

Products

Golla releases annually a new collection consisting of cases for mobile phones, cameras, SLR cameras, digital videocameras and tablets. The collection also includes an extensive range of bags and sleeves for laptops from 11" to 17".
