Long story short

When the second pair of shabby wooden handles broke, we desperately craved a durable and fun handle for the sauna door. We started developing various ideas with different materials until we discovered Durat and all the delicious colors. Then a couple of friends got excited about it, and we thought, wow, maybe others would like this too. That's how it all started.

Helena Valtonen

Designer

Helena is the founder, designer and idea generator extraordinaire. 

She's the canine connoisseur, particularly smitten with Staffies. Beware though, she's had her fair share of misadventures, including a memorable run-in while rushing to hug one of her furry friends. More is definitely more in her book.

Carpenter

And here's Jari, the other founder. He's a carpenter, a craftsman, born from a line of homemade inventors. Utterly enamored with all things music and rye bread. Strong, silent type.

  • Sustainability

    We believe that sustainability is not only about 100% recyclability but also about longevity. The Bonbon handle is incredibly easy to sand and treat with a drop of furniture polish if it ever gets damaged. Then it's as good as new again.

  • A BIT MORE fun

    We believe that nothing should be taken too seriously. We feel better when we can leave our own mark on the places where we live. There can always be A BIT MORE of us, or even A BIT MORE purple, if that's your thing.

  • Cleanliness rules

    Durat withstands temperature changes and water; it is a non-porous material, making it extremely hygienic. This is exactly why it is very popular in hospitals and other public spaces.
