“Room made of wood” is the literal translation of the Finnish word for “sauna”, a word that in itself refers to the living tradition of sweating in a simple wooden shack. Taking a sauna is good for the health and reconnects human beings with the basic and natural elements of water and heat. The design of the Varioline sauna cabin represents a convincing expression of the maxim of relaxation and closeness to nature. The cabin’s clear lines are defined by a combination of high-quality materials, including Rohol genuine-veneer nut-tree panels, and are complemented by a generously dimensioned whole glass front that extends around the front edges, forming part of the left and right side walls and lending the sauna cabin a light and spacious appearance. A floor covered with Mosa stone-tiles in black and indirect lightning in the ceiling create a luxurious and warm ambience. Functionally sophisticated details such as a comfortably adjustable middle-bank, a wheeled box for wood as well as the wooden-heated sauna stove, which can be rotated through 360 degrees, convey to sauna enthusiasts the sensations of peace and inner balance. A sauna cabin thus transforms into a lifestyle space that is inspired consistently in form and function by the origins of the traditional sauna experience.
