Description

Hyvien löylyjen salaisuus is Lassi A. Liikkanen's 240-page book on the Finnish sauna, published by Rakennustieto; please note that the full text is in Finnish. Across ten chapters it moves from the basics of the sauna experience through the four elements of a good sauna (heat, air quality, the design of the steam room, and culture and the social environment) to the smoke sauna and sauna buildings for the 2020s. The most significant new content covers ventilation solutions, the innovation history of the Finnish sauna, the modern smoke sauna and the relationship between sauna culture and saunas. More than 100 photographs of saunas illustrate the text, alongside drawings by Satu Laine and contributions from a wide circle of Finnish sauna experts.
