Having a private sauna used to mean having the space for it, but the KLAFS S1 sauna is designed with space in mind. About the size of a bookcase, the KLAFS S1 sauna can sit unassumingly in a space until it is used. At the push of a button, the KLAFS S1 reveals a sauna of ample size for home owners to enjoy.

Slim, discreet and retractable, the KLAFS S1 sauna offers those who live in condominiums or apartments the ability to keep a [miniature spa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyto) at their disposal for use whenever they like.

The KLAFS S1 private sauna transforms in about 20-seconds from a furniture-inspired closet, to a sauna that's perfect for a couple to enjoy. The [mobile system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquila-sauna) can be implemented and moved, if desired, to increase the capabilities of the unit.
