ELEMENTS SAUNA won the PARIS DESIGN AWARD 2023

Sit in the sauna, feel like you are floating and enjoy the view of the Dolomites - the Dolomiti Wellness Hotel Fanes in San Cassiano in South Tyrol offers its guests this relaxation experience. ELEMENTS is the name of the innovative project created by designer Barbara Widmann and her team from iDA - interior design & architecture. The cylindrical sauna floats 9 metres above the ground and revolves around itself. The large glass window provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Dolomites. The torus-shaped design is intended to symbolise the self-sustaining energy field of all life forms. The choice of materials from which it was built is analogous to the 5 elements of earth, air, water, fire and ether: Wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

As a natural South Tyrolean product, Silberquarzit from Grünig Natursteine could not be missing. With its dark grey tones, this floor tile fits harmoniously into the natural overall appearance of the ELEMENTS SAUNA.
