Transforming Home Living with Totonoü's Sauna
In an exciting collaboration, Totonoü Japan, a leading importer of Nordic sauna products, has introduced its flagship home sauna, the
Auroom Cala Glass, at the Sekisui House Nagoya East branch. Spanning an impressive 5m x 5m, the featured display at the
Izume Mori I Exhibition Hall promises to redefine the concept of home wellness.
Innovative Display Design
The exhibition hall is designed to reflect a lifestyle where a sauna is seamlessly integrated into daily living. The second floor houses the sauna, strategically placed to offer a cozy and private experience while still connecting to other essential amenities like bathtubs, washbasins, and balconies. This layout allows visitors to envision the ease of incorporating a sauna into their home life, especially after a rejuvenating sauna session.
Unique Features of the Auroom Cala Glass
The
Auroom Cala Glass sauna accommodates 2-3 people comfortably. Its stunning Scandinavian design features a combination of glass and wood, leveraging heat-resistant tempered glass to maintain optimal temperatures. With a maximum temperature of 110 degrees Celsius and the capability for traditional
Löyly (steam), this sauna caters to both aesthetic and functional needs.
Notably, the wood used for construction undergoes
Thermo treatment, a process that enhances stability and durability. This 24-hour heating process reduces moisture content, making it more resistant to stains compared to untreated materials like Hinoki or Sugi, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance.
Additionally, the sauna is equipped with an electrically approved heating system (PSE Mark) that includes temperature sensors for safety. This system automatically shuts off power when necessary and has an outward opening door to facilitate quick exits in case of an emergency.
Expanding Sauna Culture in Japan
Totonoü has established itself as a pioneer in the home sauna market, boasting over 1,000 introductions across Japan. Drawing from their expertise, they have tailored training programs and webinars specifically for Sekisui House’s design and sales teams, focusing on the latest sauna trends and exemplary case studies.
This collaboration not only emphasizes the technical aspects of sauna integration but also highlights the cultural shift towards embracing sauna living as a part of everyday life. The aim is to position home saunas not as luxury items but as accessible options for a broader audience in Japan.
Leaders' Vision for the Future
Branch Manager Noriyuki Sakenishi of Sekisui House desires to redefine saunas in residential settings by fostering environments that offer more than just functionality. He emphasizes the importance of understanding how saunas interact with surrounding spaces, including bathrooms and outdoor areas, to create a holistic living experience.
On the other hand,
Alex Gohta Saito, CEO of Totonoü Japan, expresses excitement for this collaboration, noting how saunas are a fundamental part of life in Nordic countries. He believes that this partnership aims to promote the concept of household saunas and enrich Japanese living culture, making everyday wellness accessible to all.
