Keep browsing to discover the story behind Sauna Gnome figurine - where and how it's made, how it fits into your home, and what others are saying about it.
Where the idea for Sauna Gnome figurine came from?
"Many design furniture brands have a decorative item in their collection that acts as a brand ambassador and symbolises the brand's values or presence in general. We decided that we needed one too, but it had to be something Finnish and original and give our customers something surprising, a story and a fun experience."
-Severi / Product Manager
Designing the Sauna Gnome figurine
"I met the challenge with enthusiasm, but I couldn't find an idea of what this thing would be, because I had already seen a lot of bird figurines. After a long search, I came up with Finnish elves and gnomes, which were completely unexplored territory from a design point of view. You could make up endless stories about them and they would fit our brand perfectly. The pen went to work right away and we made 3D models of my sketches, which we used to make some prototypes in production."
-Tapio / Designer
Sauna Gnome figurine in use
"The figures are clearly decorative objects, works of art or miniature sculptures - however you want to define them. But they are also objects of use, if you want to experience them as such, either with humour or a little more seriously. The figurines are perfect as gifts, for housewarming or summer cottage visits, or just for yourself. They will find a place on the mantelpiece, on the shelf, on the windowsill, in the sauna and in many other nooks and crannies."
-Arja / Interior Architect
A story behind the Sauna Gnome figurine
The package comes with a leaflet that tells you a little about the history of the figures, what they meant to the Finnish people of the past, who believed in them and for whom they were an everyday occurrence. There are also instructions for us modern people who have forgotten how to behave around gnomes and elves. If you misbehave, the characters can get into mischief, and the brochure therefore states that we take no responsibility for this.
"Ensin mennään saunaan ja sitten syödään vasta."
