Swedish design studio Sandellsandberg designs the new Big Branzino, completing the floating sauna that is made to drift along the Stockholm archipelago. It rests on top of a steel catamaran hull with a timber structure that covers a central glazed sauna room. It is minimally designed to blend into the nature background that it floats along.
Architect Johan Strandlund states that "It can travel freely at its captain's discretion, from a few hours of sauna with a view to adventurous, long trips. When it was delivered from the shipyard to the client it was a two-day trip, [which] allowed us to discover the range of its experience. Other than the sauna, the fireplace provides warmth for overnight trips,"
