Co-Founder
CurrentWe spent many years working as an architect (Jakob) and as a project manager (Cecilie) for leading firms in London's commercial design industry. Eventually, we felt unfulfilled and in 2016 we left to support NGOs and Charity organisations in the rural Philippines. We lived in low socio-economic communities for two years and designed & built 4 Learning Centers for Children. When we returned to Scandinavia in October 2018, we felt cold and ill and just made it through the winter thanks to saunas.As a result, we started researching the history and culture of saunas and discovered that regular sauna bathing has been shown to have many positive health effects. According to studies conducted by the University of Eastern Finland, these effects include stabilizing the autonomic nervous system, while reducing blood pressure, inflammation, and vascular resistance.As we ourselves have lost loved ones to heart failure, learning about the health benefits of saunas was very encouraging. So much so, that we decided to use our skills gained through our architecture practice Native Narrative to design the perfect mobile sauna. The result of which is the Scandinavian Sauna, we hope you will get a chance enjoy it!
