Löyly
Floating Sauna
Löyly, a compact 2.2 square meter sauna, comfortably accommodates three people and is heated by a small wood stove. Its condensed dimensions have been meticulously designed to craft a snug and intimate ambiance. Constructed from Swiss douglas fir and adorned with a teak oil finish, this sauna incorporates construction techniques inspired by Japan. While inside, guests can bask in the warmth while savoring panoramic views through its translucent walls of the surrounding lakes and mountains.

EMR Pens
Digital Calligraphy
There is something poetic
about handwriting, feeling it hit the paper as your thoughts
flow through your fingers and
bringing it into words. But
nowadays traditional handwriting
is gradually being used less.
Instead new technology has
replaced and perhaps improved
the old writing instrument. Essence of this concept is to get
the real writing effect on the
digital screen. And to be able to
draw or write calligraphy more
precise and delicate lines on the
display. I’m not designing the
technology, I’m designing the
tools, adding additional features
to the technology.

Air sound
Airport speaker
Speakers in public environments tend to be either a technical solution or an invisible object to find. They are usually placed in the corners and are not important as lamps. My aim is to design a modular speaker system for the airport and getting a better atmosphere and environment in the aiport with ambient sound landscape. With integration the speaker in the centre of the hall and highlight the shape, it would create the missing attention and purpose.
