Sauna Box by Castor Design, who are currently featured at the Interior Design Show as part of the 10 Innovative Canadian Designers exhibit.
Given my long-time love affair with converted shipping containers and all things prefab, I was naturally thrilled to first see Castor’s Sauna Box at the Toronto Interior Design Show back in 2006. It caused quite a buzz and they were continuously surrounded by very curious people at the show.
The Sauna Box is a traditional wood-burning sauna that is cleverly and efficiently built into a shipping container. “It is completely self-contained with solar power and a wood fired stove. The box comes standard with iPod stereo, guitar hook-up, Castor Stool, magnetic truck light, wool toque and bronze antlers. The Sauna Box can be customized to suit the site.” Really? An iPod stereo and a guitar hook up in a sauna?! Yes! I saw it and I didn’t want to leave it. If I could have put it in my pocket and taken it with me, I’d be living in it right now.
