IDEA SAUNA
IDEA SAUNA
Designed by Giovanna Talocci
The Idea range of saunas combines the best of both worlds - the uncluttered lines, details and top-of-the-range finishes reminiscent of the Nordic tradition and the elegance of bespoke Italian design.
The front of the sauna is recessed, creating a three-dimensional feeling of depth, despite its compact size.
The heater is concealed by a slatted hemlock panel on the front of the sauna, which is accessorized with a towel holder and houses the control panel.
The interior is clad in smooth, hemlock panels, except for the back wall which has slats, a nod to traditional Nordic saunas. The interior lighting, which is flush with the rear wall, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
