Arcti-chan
Arcti-chan, the mascot of Arctinar Ltd., is an energetic and witty character whose role is to delight and guide especially our Japanese audiences. This “saunatonttu” (sauna elf) was born in the lush swamps somewhere in Northern Finland (exact location not disclosed). Now, Arcti-chan has made its way to our capital Helsinki to team up with Eetu and Markko in conducting sauna business in Finland and abroad. Arcti-chan lives inside our sauna heater and is never one to turn down a good “löyly”. From time to time, you may be able to spot Arcti-chan roaming in our videos, sharing its sauna secrets and peculiarities of Finnish sauna culture. In the design of Arcti-chan, the characteristics of a traditional Finnish sauna elf and the influence of Finnish cartoons are seamless combined. The above-mentioned features make Arcti-chan a unique and lovable individual!
Though sometimes a massive pain in the ass, Arcti-chan is knowledgeable about many sauna-related topics and is quick to snap at anyone spreading blatant misinformation regarding sauna culture and its practices. Even with a rather intense nature, Arcti-chan is still extremely kind and caring at heart, having a particular soft spot for “löyly”. A certain combination of straightforwardness, sincerity and a deep passion for sauna-going makes Arcti-chan good teacher material for Arctisauna Academy. Arcti-chan’s teaching is not only informative but also entertaining. We hope that our mascot succeeds in bringing joy to our audiences’ everyday lives! Arcti-chan guides you step by step through all the different stages of sauna, ranging from using the heater and various other sauna products to casting “löyly” in a right manner. By delving in our audiovisual content, learning about sauna-going becomes easy and fun whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional!
Arcti-chan does not only teach the techniques and skills regarding saunas, but it takes viewers to the roots of sauna culture. Through the transmitted stories, viewers can get acquainted with the meaning of saunas in Finnish culture and will become able to understand why saunas are such an essential element of our way of life. The relaxing and stress-reducing features, proven health benefits and social interaction are only a few of the special characteristics of a sauna culture that brings people together, strengthening our relationships.
We want to welcome everyone from around the world to find their way into a sauna and be able to experience its unique, soothing effect. In particular, the Arctisauna tent saunas that we produce are relatively handy to move and quick to set up, which enables sauna-going wherever you want regardless of your needs. Tent saunas can offer an authentic sauna experience in a compact form. Additionally, tent sauna usage is environmentally friendly, since it requires neither any fixed structures nor a constant maintenance of a base temperature. Once you have actually tried a tent sauna, it will be difficult to forget the pleasant “löyly” that it provides!
Arctinar Ltd. is proud of our lively mascot, who represents Finnish sauna traditions as well as a modern, global sauna culture. Through Arcti-chan, we want to make Finnish sauna culture known around the world and offer all sauna lovers a chance to learn about saunas and enjoy them in a novel, delightful manner. Therefore, we invite you to be a part of Arcti-chan’s adventures to find out why saunas are such a beloved and important part of the Finnish lifestyle.
