Tutors: Karola Sahi, Mikko Paakkanen

The Wood Studio project`s main theme was to create unique the “COOLING OFF” stool for finish sauna. This old tradition - to go to sauna is really great, people are relaxing, bathing and washing as well. 

My stool is RULPA. It is multifunctional - the stool & matt to use in sauna space. You can seat yourself / seat with friend / lay on it on sauna stairs. Using is simple: to roll and to unroll. Structure of the stool: wooden sticks are hold by belt with velcros: when the stool is rolled, the belt encircles all sticks together. Also stool can be carried, it has strap. 

RUPLA can be used not only in sauna.

Dimensions: height 48 cm, seat diameter 30 cm.

Wood: aspen

Belt: red polyester
