Ultimate Treat: Duravit Inipi Sauna

WORDS Maciek Dubla

A modular Duravit Inipi sauna can turn your home into the ultimate retreat.

We usually associate saunas with gyms and high-end spas, because that’s where we’re used to seeing them. So does the sauna belong in our homes? The short answer: yes. The long answer: absolutely.

Karen Robyn, General Manager of Duravit South Africa, offers some insights.

The primary reasons people use a sauna are the perceived health benefits and relaxation. Would you agree?

Yes. Regular sauna sessions during the cold months are said to boost the immune system, with lasting benefits. Besides the global movement towards preventive health care, trend researchers say self-indulgence is a recent addition to the wellness concept: Not only do we want to actively do something for our health, but we also want to enjoy a passive pampering experience. Using a sauna is just the thing.

What is available locally?

Inipi, Duravit’s first-ever sauna, is designed with a compact layout in mind. Different variants are available, including one with a rainfall showerhead and Hansgrohe tap fittings called Inipi Ama.

What if you live in a small flat?

The new Inipi B Super Compact sauna has a footprint of about 120 cm x 120 cm and fits into almost any corner. It offers ample space for one person to have a relaxing wellness experience.
