Helena is the founder, designer and idea generator. More is more. Jari is a carpenter, a craftsman, born from a line of homemade inventors. Strong, silent type.
Eerik the Happy, a vibrant new interior brand that adds color and joy to bathrooms. Designer Helena Valtonen and carpenter Jari Eskelinen have reimagined a Finnish classic – the sauna door handle. Their creation, the Bonbon handle, combines modern design with cheerful colors, crafted from durable Durat.
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.

What kind of partners are you looking for?
We’re looking for fun and forward-thinking partners – retailers, glass door manufacturers, and folks working on spa or hotel projects where our handles could shine. We’re also into collabs like joint product photos or getting featured in online shops. Let’s make cool things happen together!
