Sauna design is an art form—and AITO is its masterpiece. Brought to you by Avanto Architects, the creators of Löyly, arguably the world’s most famous sauna located in Helsinki, Finland, AITO Sauna spreads the timeless essence of Finnish sauna culture to the world. In Finland, great sauna design is effortless. It’s functional, well balanced, and deeply connected to well-being, and AITO Sauna embodies this philosophy. With clean lines and natural wood, AITO Sauna offers the perfect blend of modern aesthetics, everyday wellness, and timeless tradition.

During 3daysofdesign, AITO Sauna opens the door to an authentic Finnish sauna experience—right in the heart of Copenhagen. In collaboration with Tom’s Oyster Shack, and located right on the water’s edge, this one–of–a–kind installation invites you to unwind in true Nordic style. Step into the soft, pampering warmth of the sauna—where the moist heat envelops you, your breath slows, and effortless relaxation takes over. This is not just a moment of rest; it's a journey into Finnish culture, design philosophy, and everyday wellness. Whether you're new to sauna or a lifelong enthusiast, this is your chance to experience how design meets ritual, nature meets architecture, and heat meets harmony.

Gemla is a contemporary furniture maker—and always has been. Yet at the same time, they verge on being an anachronism. Always have. The company was founded in 1861, specialising in steam–bent furniture. It’s steam that makes bentwood furniture so exceptionally durable, yet graceful. On the factory floor, guided by the knowledge of craft, the brand meets patience, care and sustainability, passed down through generations. It’s no coincidence that its pieces are in high demand for hotels and restaurants—settings that require equal parts aesthetics and durability.
