Because the sauna has always been such a big part of our lives, we used to take it for granted — a place to unwind, talk with friends, or not talk at all. A place to simply be — without stress, without a phone. When that place suddenly wasn’t as accessible anymore, we realized how much it meant to us.

The purpose of bast is to make that place — which we believe should be available to everyone — more accessible. bast was founded to fill a gap in our own lives, but our purpose quickly shifted from fulfilling our personal need to something much bigger:

To make the sauna accessible to everyone, and to spread Nordic sauna culture one sauna at a time.
