The [Canopy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellness-tower) Barrel Sauna is a luxurious steam room built exclusively for two adding an element of luxury and intimacy to the experience. The cozy atmosphere is provided for in a unique [cylinder wood cabin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquila-sauna) that is cultivates a space of closeness, privacy and warmth.

[Steam rooms are often compact spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saunazen) that usually take on a square or rectangular design to offer corner seats for users to relax on. However the Canopy Barrel Sauna diverges from this traditional layout opting for a cylinder shape tilted on its side. The unique design provides a coziness to the inner heat room as well as an alternating length in ceiling height that further pushes the two sitters closer together.
