This Finnish Sauna Lets Men and Women Bathe Together
Rahul Kalvapalle — July 6, 2016 — Art & Design
The Loyly is an innovative new Finnish sauna that stands out among the increasingly crowded field of Scandinavian saunas in that it embraces a mixed-gender policy wherein male and female visitors can bathe and enjoy the sauna facilities together in comfort.
This Finnish sauna is unusual even from the outside in that it features an eye-catching shape that is perhaps best described as a wooden cloak. This cloak consists of thousands of planks of wood. The result is a layer that both offers a decorative function as well as privacy.
However, the most interesting feature of this sauna is the fact that it aims to evolve Finnish nude bathing culture and create an environment where men and women can bathe together without embarrassment and discomfort.
