About Desavu – Design Sauna & Floating Sauna Experts
More than a Sauna
– a Complete Experience
Who is Desavu?
Desavu is a Finnish sauna design company focused on design saunas, floating sauna solutions and sauna concepts. At Desavu®, we don’t just build saunas – we create complete experiences where architecture, functionality and comfort come together seamlessly.
Our design saunas are created to engage all the senses: the warmth of natural wood, the balance of carefully selected materials, intuitive customer flow and purposeful functionality. Every detail is designed to support both the experience and the way the space works in real use.
Each Desavu sauna is built from Finnish cross-laminated timber (CLT) and delivered as a ready-to-use Design & Build solution. This ensures consistency in quality, atmosphere and usability from the first concept to the final result.
Our saunas adapt naturally to different environments – from private villas to hospitality destinations and floating sauna concepts. We also design floating saunas where water becomes part of the experience, creating distinctive environments that connect architecture, landscape and user experience in a unique way. Every project is shaped individually to match the vision, location and intended use.
A Desavu sauna is not just a space. It is an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
A Passion for Sauna, Design and Real Use
Desavu was founded in 2020 from a shared passion for Finnish sauna culture, architecture and design – and the belief that a sauna can be much more than just a room.
Our founders – Minna, Aleksi & Kaisa – combine strong design thinking, technical expertise and a deep understanding of how sauna environments function in practice. This includes both land-based and floating sauna solutions, designed for real conditions and continuous use.
“Sauna & More” is not just a slogan for us – it’s a reflection of our expertise. Our strong background in design, brand building, and concept development shapes the way we approach sauna as a holistic experience. We don’t just design spaces; we create experiences and concepts where design, technical expertise, and business understanding come together.
For us, sauna is about relaxation, connection and meaningful experiences – whether in everyday life or as part of a larger destination. We also offer sauna consulting for projects where sauna plays a key role in the experience and business.
Sauna Expertise for Real Projects
We work with private clients, sauna operators and businesses developing hospitality, tourism and real estate projects where sauna plays a central role. Whether you are:
- starting a new sauna business
- developing an existing concept
- expanding your operations
- or creating a destination where sauna is a key attraction
Desavu supports you from concept to completion. Our approach combines design, functionality and business understanding – ensuring that the sauna is not only visually strong, but also practical, efficient and commercially viable. From architectural design saunas to floating sauna concepts, each solution is developed to fit its environment and purpose.
