Savu sauna cover 46 x 60 cm

SAVU design embodies the mystical and dusky ambiance of a traditional smoke sauna.

The SAVU design was created as part of Sauna Finland’s project to develop an idea or a product that signals Finnish sauna culture to an international target audience, in particular. Designer Heini Turunen apporached the subject through the theme of the Finnish smoke sauna through the lens of an authentic and unique experience. SAVU is one of the drafts from the “Saunan syli” design collection, and it embodies the mystical and dusky ambiance of a traditional smoke sauna. Turunen wanted to capture the multisensory atmosphere, the rustic beauty of the patina that covers the surfaces, the scent of smoke and the softness of the healing steam. Her goal was to create a product and design set that feels like a hug – the healing touch of a smoke sauna.
