SAUNA SYDÄN
(Together with Ilari Pirttilahti and Anne Varsamäki)

Sauna sydän is made of a birch bark. The structure is like a huge traditional birch bark basket turned upside down. By lifting the corner of a wall you can enter and see the heart of the sauna. Inside the sauna, in the middle of the space, are the main elements wood, water and warmth. The wooden tub with movable seats made out of asp together with a heater create the core of the sauna. The tub can be reached from three sides and the dock-like structure of the movable seats allow a wide range of sitting positions.
Sauna sydän were built and exhibited in Habitare 2009 fair.
