Compact cleansing: Sauna design that fits the home

19 : 03 : 2010 Interior : LED Glass Panel : Purify

Vienna – Long, cold winter days will be warmed by a new micro-sauna that fits into the home.

  • Design firm EOOS has created the compact ‘Inipi’ sauna for German bath company Duravit. The sauna takes its name from Native American ceremonial cleansing rituals to purify body and mind.

The design features a glazed front and a wooden frame, available in finishes that include bleached oak, cherry and American walnut. To make the design compact enough to fit inside a domestic space, the heating stones and equipment are concealed behind an internal board. An LED glass panel can be set by remote control to display digital scenery that features options such as jungle and desert effects, depending on the user’s mood.
