Harvia Sauna

Creating an everlasting odyssey: the culture of sauna taking over the world

For centuries, the sauna has been an integral part of Finnish culture, a place for healing, reflection, and community. Harvia, the world’s leading sauna brand with deep Finnish roots, is bringing a modern twist to this ancient tradition by driving sustainability through innovative use of recycled stainless steel. As global interest in wellness grows, Harvia’s eco-conscious approach positions it as a leader in both health and environmental responsibility.

Harvia’s saunas, known for their craftsmanship and durability, are now setting a new standard in sustainability by using Outokumpu's stainless steel, made from over 90% recycled material. This sustainable material, prized for its corrosion resistance and long life, reduces Harvia’s carbon footprint while ensuring the longevity of its products. By using recyclable stainless steel, Harvia is not just preserving tradition; it’s accelerating the global shift towards greener manufacturing.

With its forerunning sauna heaters Harvia produces is a testament to this ethos, offering a sustainable, long-lasting solution for the health-conscious and environmentally aware consumer. The choice of stainless steel extends beyond aesthetics—it’s a commitment to quality, responsibility, and future-proofing a global tradition.
