Tapio Anttila Collection Sauna Gnome figurine, black

The Sauna Gnome figurine from Tapio Anttila Collection brings good luck and gentle steam to your sauna – at least if you follow the included instructions to keep this little gnome happy. In Finnish folklore, sauna gnomes were believed to enjoy harmless mischief, watching over sauna etiquette and, in return, protecting the sauna and ensuring a perfect steam. Sauna Gnome also makes a charming gift for any well-mannered sauna enthusiast who appreciates a touch of magic.

Designed by Tapio Anttila, this wooden figurine is part of Tapio’s Creatures collection, drawing inspiration from the spirits and gnomes of Finnish mythology. Each figurine, featuring a softly minimal, mysterious expression, is hand-carved in Finland from leftover pine wood and finished by burning and varnishing the surface, highlighting its natural grain. Every piece is unique, with individual cracks and subtle color variations, and each includes a base plate with the character’s and designer’s names.
