AIR SAUNA

AIR SAUNA

Designed by Giovanna Talocci

The Air sauna is an original, contemporary design which, as the name implies, features a light and airy feel created by the suspended seating and symmetrical lines with the heater in a central position.

The suspended benches create a lightweight design enabling the sauna to be installed on existing flooring. The centrally placed heater makes Air the ideal meeting place to relax in company and the bench seats project outside, creating a handy towel holder and shelf.

The interiors are made of luxurious aspen wood, either natural or heat-treated, which is very long-lasting. The full-height glass walls in toughened glass and the LED lighting underneath the benches enhance the light and airy atmosphere.

Designer and interior architect, Giovanna began her professional career in the second half of the Seventies. After working with colleagues for several years, in 1995 she founded the Talocci Design studio.

The studio works with a team of designers and is mainly involved in product and exhibit design, art direction, communication and event organization.

She has taken part, both as presenter and guest, in television programmes about design. She has been a member of many juries in national and international design competitions. She teaches at the La Sapienza University in Rome and at design schools such as IED, QUASAR and currently AANT.
