Sauna GESA by Gesa Hansen
The interior panelling of the GESA sauna was inspired by the manufacturing process used for Japanese Yakisugi wood. First, it is charred, then extinguished with cold water – a process reminiscent of the sauna session itself. The material and finish of the sauna thus bear a herringbone pattern. Black accents create eye-catching contrasts. A generous glass front as well as the minimalist shape of the sauna give it an inviting character.
Statement by the Jury
The sophisticated design concept of the GESA sauna by Gesa Hansen makes it a cosy retreat thanks to a choice of materials that give it sensory appeal and create eye-catching contrasts.
