The Tyyni Sauna Collection, designed by the Polish studio Tyyni, embodies the essence of Scandinavian culture, offering a minimalist and timeless sauna experience. The name "Tyyni," meaning "calmness" in Finnish, reflects the collection's focus on tranquility and connection with nature. Designed by architect Piotr Gniewek and implemented by the Finnish company Ehta Group Oy, the collection combines modern design with traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations, resulting in a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The compact and simple structure includes a sauna chamber with a stove, a recreational space, a dressing room, and a shower room. Its minimalist form and extensive mirrored glazing allow it to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings, making it an ideal addition to any garden. The sauna is designed to provide a private retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a space for meditation, relaxation, and reconnection with nature. When paired with a terrace, it becomes a perfect setting for social gatherings or romantic evenings.
The Tyyni Sauna Collection is more than just a functional object; it is an invitation to experience the soothing benefits of traditional löyly (sauna steam) while immersing oneself in the natural environment. It encourages users to engage in simple, joyful activities like lighting a fire, lounging carefree, and drawing water from a well, fostering a deep connection with nature and a sense of childlike wonder.
Crafted from 90 mm thick CLT (cross-laminated timber), the sauna is durable, precise, and environmentally friendly. The use of softwood from coniferous trees ensures a pleasant tactile experience and resilience under demanding conditions. As a ready-to-use object, it can be delivered by truck and installed without the need for foundation work.
