This unique 300-page book on the sauna phenomenon presents a selection of 40 of the most interesting saunas: from small private sweat rooms to large sauna worlds.
39 visits to beautiful and interesting saunas are complemented by fifteen long interviews: we asked experienced architects, designers, aromatherapists and even doctors about the sauna phenomenon.
We look for answers to questions such as: - Why is sauna bathing good for the body and mind? - What should a properly designed sauna look like and what should not be missing in it? - What role does heat, scent, air and water play in sauna? - How to use these elements and energies properly?
The book provides a detailed map of a phenomenon that is playing an increasingly important role in today's world. The editors are sauna experts themselves, and their travels led them to the most respected ones in the Czech Republic. The book is not a manual on sauna construction, but a detailed guide to the world of hot interiors.
