“The door handle is the handshake of the building. The tactile sense connects us with time and tradition: through impressions of touch we shake the hands of countless generations.”
–Juhani Pallasmaa
The sauna door handle is a symbol of the enduring qualities of the sauna and its materials, reminding us that time and tradition are not fleeting, rather that they are tangible elements that shape our experiences. The door handle connects us physically to the history and legacy of the sauna and the sauna stone, embodying its materiality and slow processes of creation, and the timeless impressions left by those who came before us.
