A glass act from Küng Sauna
Switzerland-based sauna manufacturer Küng Sauna has unveiled Ovola, a newly patented sauna with a rounded, profile-free glass front.

Matching trim and covers can be manufactured to allow the sauna to occupy any space, opening up bespoke design possibilities.

Italian design duo create Klafs special editions
Italian designers Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez have created a sauna and steamroom for Klafs, which complement one another (see above).
The front and anterior side walls of the sauna are made from floor-to-ceiling glass to flood the inside with natural light.
Meanwhile, the designers’ vision for the steamroom was to “create heaven on earth” and white is used throughout to represent innocence (right). The front is made from matt glass and features large, opaline panes and slender viewing panels, while the rear side walls are designed with a waterproof quartz agglomerate and continue the graphic design of the glass front. Lights in the ceiling create the impression of sun rays flooding into the space.

Regenerative skin treatment from AW Lake
Singapore-based spa firm AW Lake has teamed up with a number of specialists to create a non-invasive machine for regenerative skin treatments. Pure TDA treatments are designed to create protein-rich deposits in the skin’s deepest layers, in order to stimulate cell division and provide the building blocks to repair damaged structures of the skin. Over time, this smooths the skin and reduces deep and fine wrinkles. The TDA machine was developed by Germany’s MedDRop Technology, while Switzerland-based Arivine Pharma developed the patented substance used in the treatments.
