Event Information

maruni tokyo unveils "kupu sauna"—a new challenge born from a century of wooden furniture making and crafted from locally sourced Japanese cypress. Reinterpreting the traditional barrel sauna in a contemporary way, it brings together function and design with the sensibility of a furniture maker. Developed through the fusion of Maruni’s woodworking expertise, the pioneering know-how of ONE SAUNA, and the design vision of product designer Wataru Kumano, "kupu sauna" is more than a place to be enveloped in heat. It is a space to rediscover the richness of living with wood, offering a new style of quality and well-being inspired by Japan’s forests and furniture-making heritage.

kupu sauna Special Exhibition
October 16 (thu) - November 9 (Sun) *Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Maruni unveils "kupu sauna"—a new challenge that draws on 100 years of cultivated woodworking expertise and aesthetic sensibility, crafted from Japanese cypress. The name “kupu”, meaning “dome” or “something that envelops” in Finnish, reflects its gently embracing form. Reinterpreting the traditional barrel sauna in a contemporary way, it unites function and design at a high level. Born from the unique perspective of a furniture maker, "kupu sauna" is a true original Japanese sauna, born from a vision of sustainable living with local resources.
