OVO SAUNA IS NOT JUST ANOTHER FUNCTIONAL BOX TO BE STANDING IN A CORNER. IT’S A CENTRAL PIECE OF FURNITURE THAT BECOMES THE CORE AND STARTING POINT FOR WHOLE NEW INTERIORS AND SPATIAL EXPERIENCES.


OVO SAUNA WITH ASSOCIATED ROOM DIVIDERS CAN BE POSITIONED AND COMBINED IN THE ROOM JUST AS YOU WANT, TO BUILD AN OPEN SPA LANDSCAPE WITH NATURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS.

The Finnish sauna is a ritual. A process in three parts between the cool relaxation room, the hot sauna bath and the washing ceremony. OVO’s unique design is based on the experience of the traditional sauna ritual in north of Scandinavia.   The exterior and interior of the sauna room, creates new opportunities for the sauna to become an independent central piece of furniture for a total rethinking of the interior and the concept of a sauna bath in the spa context. Also based on the ritual, we have given OVO two doors in opposite directions, where one leads to relaxation and the other to the showers. Aside from the sauna’s glass doors, it lacks windows, in order to create a room with strong integrity and sense of form. That makes our sauna become not

just another functional box to be standing in a corner. Instead it is a central piece of furniture that becomes the core and starting point for new interiors and spatial experiences.   OVO can be combined creatively in two or more entities, perhaps for different temperatures, male and female parts, various surface treatments, etc. Many units create together with the corresponding room divider, exciting spaces and functional boundaries in the larger room or department. A sauna environment is preferred to be designed with open and sensual character. OVO concept requires no internal walls or other boundaries need to be built. Instead, the products are those which naturally divides functional areas from each other.


OVO IS INSPIRED BY ONE OF NATURE’S MOST COMPLETE FORMS. THE EGG. A SHAPE THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLY PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE. THE VOLUME IS SMALL WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE SMALL, NEAR THE HEAT SOURCE. AND IT’S BIG WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE, IN THE SOCIAL PART WHERE YOU SIT. THE CIRCULAR BENCHES IS A NATURAL AREA WITH PLENTY OF SPACE.
