nunnauuni_mittatilaustakka_rankki-1024×551

The elegant NunnaUuni soapstone fireplace with a rough stone surface was designed for a holiday home on the rocky archipelago landscape of Rankki, a former military island off the coast of Kotka in southeast Finland. In addition to sensitivity to the environment and self-sufficiency, the aim in designing the fireplace was to recreate the feel of the surrounding rugged archipelago landscape within the house. Spanning the full length of the wall, the fireplace with baking oven looks as if it were rising directly from a coastal cliff. The fireplace was showcased in the ‘Design by Lauri’ TV programme.
