Dimensions and capacity are approximate; seating capacity varies with the bench arrangement.
Forest Crown combines traditional sauna warmth with carefully integrated architectural details.
The interior uses contrasting wood directions, dark bench and backrest accents, and concealed warm lighting to create depth throughout the room.
The signature feature is an illuminated ceiling panel made from natural wood cross-sections, giving the sauna a distinctive handcrafted character.
A wood-burning heater with chimney provides the traditional heat source, while ventilation and service components are discreetly integrated into the bench structure to keep the technical elements visually unobtrusive.
