Come, walk across the meadows,
breathe in the air, feel the breeze from the sea.
Let the sun fill you.
Come, enjoy with me.
You are in Österbotten.
Österbotten series came about when Aveo's founder and CEO, Anna Häggblom, together with designer Sofie Staffans-Lytz, wondered why it is so hard to find lovely gifts from Österbotten. The idea of a tray representing our beautiful landscape emerged. The end result is the delightful Österbotten tray with flying barn swallows, apple blossoms, cloudberry leaves, and a wooden boat waiting for pleasant rowing trips in our beautiful archipelago. The perfect gift from Österbotten, one of the best places on earth.

Sofie Staffans-Lytz has designed the Österbotten tray and the other products in the Ostrobothnia series. Here with the bright yellow tray.
Österbotten tray for everyday and festive occasions
Our beloved Österbotten tray is good for so many things - perfect for carrying coffee out to the garden, serving cake at a party, or a cheese tray for a cozy evening. Or just let it stand out as part of the decor.

The Ostrobothnian tray comes in eight different colors. The red, rusty brown, green and sage green trays are perfect for Christmas. The red and pink trays are lovely for Valentine's Day. The yellow and green trays are perfect for Easter. The pink, mist blue and gray trays are lovely in the spring and early summer for Mother's Day, graduation, and confirmation. All colors are suitable for birthdays, housewarmings, engagements, and weddings, depending on the recipient's preferred colors.
The tray measures 31 cm in diameter and is made from FSC-certified birch veneer. The practical tray is dishwasher safe.
In addition to the Ostrobothnian tray, there are also two larger trays, three cutting boards, three kitchen towels, napkins, and dishcloths in the range.
The midsummer tray Johanna in black or white
With the midsummer tray Johanna, designer Sofie Staffans-Lytz meets the need for a modern gift from Ostrobothnia. She still draws inspiration from the Ostrobothnian nature with delicate apple blossoms and elegant midsummer roses. The tray is available in black or white and is very popular among both young and old.

The gray dishcloth is 17.2 x 20 cm and the black one is 15.6 x 16.8 cm.
Stylish black and white napkins
We all need napkins when it comes to celebrations, and what could be better than napkins with the same pattern as the Ostrobothnia trays?

Gifts for all occasions
All products in the Ostrobothnia series are great gifts all year round, and are appreciated by both young and old, by people from Ostrobothnia and as a gift from Ostrobothnia. It's perfectly fine to combine the different trays, cutting boards, kitchen towels, cloths, and napkins if you want to give a larger gift.
The easiest way is to choose a tray or a cutting board as a base, and add a kitchen towel, dishcloths, and/or napkins. But the different trays can also be combined with each other, especially nice if you combine a larger and a smaller tray in one package.
More pictures and inspiration can be found on Instagram in Aveo's feed and on the hashtags #österbottenbrickan #pohjanmaatarjotin.
Tip: When you buy a gift from Österbotten in Aveo's webshop, you can mention in the comment field at checkout if you want the gift in a gift package.
