SAMPO sauna set

The design of the sauna set has been my biggest project during my studies. I was asked to design a sauna set which would have something completely new. The set includes a pail and a laddle, and a thermometer and it is aimed at small, relatively modern apartmets with a small sauna.
Unfortunately the design of the pail and laddle proved to be too difficult to be manufactured in an industrial scale so it remained a very limited quantity. However the design has been improved to become more suitable for industrial manufature process. The producer of the product is Parttia Ltd. (http://www.parttia.fi/)
