Lapuan Kankurit | SAVU Pillow (Linen Green)
Lapuan Kankurit | SAVU Pillow (Linen Green)
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.
We weave our sauna textiles in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland, using fully traceable raw materials: European long-staple linen and bio-organic cotton. Our unique finishing facility, located next to the weaving mill in Lapua, allows us to give these textiles a high-quality finish. This means that, with proper care, the textile will retain its shape in home washing and maintain its form wash after wash.
Please note that our sauna pillows can be also used as a travel pillow. It’s also the perfect companion to take along to a yoga studio or for a day at the beach.
