the project provides users with a panoramic view thanks to its curved glass, in an attempt to connect them with nature while enjoying the benefits of saunas. every detail has been chosen to reflect the minimalism of ‘LUMIPOD‘ designs and blend naturally into the surroundings. the curved exterior wall takes form as a wooden frame, incorporating 10cm of rockwool. furthermore, the sauna is available in two versions, with or without a terrace: when it is equipped with a terrace, it is accessible via a ladder fixed to the cladding, and the total height spans 3,5m. by default, the exterior is clad in thermo brushed pine, but other options are available.

the interior is entirely made of alder wood and features two benches, each 60cm deep, which can accommodate two to four adults. meanwhile, lighting is installed directly under the seats, and the floor is made of 60x60cm anthracite tiles. the designers have teamed up with tylö company to realize this sauna, which includes an 8kw tylö sense sport electric stove. the cabin comes with all the necessary accessories for comfortable sauna use: bucket, ladle, thermometer, hygrometer, and hourglass. being manufactured in a workshop in france, it can be delivered by truck all over europe and installed within a few hours.
