Sauna stool for kulttuurisauna, a new public sauna in Helsinki.
The stool borrows its dimensions from the kulttuurisauna building, and pays an homage to the classic Antti Nurmesniemi sauna stool. The angle of the seat allows water to trickle off the surface. The feets follow the same angle keeping the stool sturdy.
