UK-based sauna specialist, Finnmark Sauna, has developed a mobile wellness experience comprised of a wood-burning sauna within a transportable trailer.
Designed to reflect the firm’s values of quality and craftsmanship, the mobile sauna has been created with Western red cedarwood from Canada and features a dimmable, LED-lit backrest.
The company has announced it is now considering offering mobile saunas as a new product range for leisure companies or private hire.
Once lockdown begins to ease, the sauna will be parked up at idyllic tourist spots including the Lake District and at endurance events, cycle races and triathlons.
Finnmark is a family-run company, helmed by brothers Jake and Max Newport, which launched four years ago as they realised their shared love of Finnish sauna culture. The firm offers an array of services including bespoke-designed sauna cabins, sauna installations, indoor and outdoor sauna cabin kits, outdoor sauna buildings and sauna-bathing accessories.
The brothers’ ambition is to make sauna bathing a full-blown event in the UK, as it is in Finland, importing traditional Finnish materials to create authentic experiences.
Jake Newport said: “We felt the real deal for us would be to have a traditional Finnish sauna in a beautiful setting next to a lake where you can go for a cold plunge too and see what it’s all about.
“In the UK, sauna use is a really prescribed event, lasting 10 minutes. In Finland, you won’t find any sand timers on the wall at all. It’s about listening to your own body and getting the temperature and humidity right.”
