# Portable Steel Saunas The Sauna Box Allows for a Steamy Good Time Anywhere You Travel By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-01-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauna-box References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/sauna-box/) & [mattermatters](http://mattermatters.com/product.asp?id=1063) If you've ever wished you could take a private sauna with you wherever you go, then the Sauna Box should definitely be on your wish list. The full-size sauna is built into a [steel shipping crate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjord-floating-sauna) that allows the structure to be transported and repositioned almost anywhere. The Sauna Box's self-sustaining design receives energy from [roof-mounted solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermasol) and is heated via a log-burning stove within the structure. To make the enclosure as luxurious as possible, the Sauna Box features a built-in [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-fidget) hook-up as well as an electric guitar line to help you relax to your favorite tunes while getting steamy. The Sauna Box is technically only semi-portable because it is after all the size of a shipping crate and requires a large truck for transportation, but that shouldn't discourage discerning buyers who are willing to pay the hefty $41,000 price tag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Portable Saunas:** The trend of portable saunas allows individuals to enjoy a steamy spa experience anywhere they go. - **Self-sustaining Design:** The trend of self-sustaining designs in products like the Sauna Box opens up opportunities for eco-friendly and off-grid innovations. - **Luxury Mobile Structures:** The trend of luxury mobile structures, such as the Sauna Box, presents opportunities for high-end recreational experiences on the go. ### Where This Applies - **Wellness and Health:** The wellness and health industry can capitalize on the trend of portable saunas to offer convenient and personalized spa experiences. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating self-sustaining designs, like the Sauna Box, into various products and structures. - **Luxury Recreation:** The luxury recreation industry can cater to affluent consumers by creating more mobile structures, like the Sauna Box, for unique and high-end experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Tent-Style Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iam-sauna.md) - [Portable Sauna Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-outdoor-sauna.md) - [Modern Mobile Sauna Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquila-sauna.md) - [Pop-Up Steam Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saunazen.md) - [Portable Exterior Sauna Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-tent-spa.md) - [Mobile Sauna Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aquila.md) - [View-Overlooking Portable Wooden Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saunabivak.md) - [Teardrop Sauna Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saltsaun-nw-trailer.md) - [Compact Mobile Sauna Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-sauna-house.md)
