BATHING CULTURES WITH TEKLA
Stop for a moment. Recollect. Take a sauna.
The rush of mundanity often leads us to neglect one fundamental aspect of a healthy life style: self-care. The sauna has and will always represent the antonomasia of care for oneself and the other. Rituals of comfort and care are the origin behind the Tekla Terry collection, which is ultimately born out of the relationship between skin and water. The collection presents Bathrobes and Towels made with soft organic cotton, classifying as the perfect go-to for the sauna ritual. The tranquility of Finnish sauna culture is further explained by writer Josefine Skomars via The Journal and brought to life through imagery by Philip Messmann and Frederik Säll.

The spring collection, launching in February 2022, includes four new colourways for the terry collection alongside bathmats, a new addition to the collection, available in the core colourways, as well as the four new.

“The sauna is a close to mythical place and practise in the Finnish culture and at the same time the most everyday event. Simply a small space to gather and get thoroughly warm together in, it is a state of mind more than anything” -Josefine Skomars.
