Cariitti’s TAIVE Sauna Cabin was launched about a year ago, in autumn 2022, at the international Interbad trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany. 

The cabin meets the need of the international market for an easy and high-quality sauna solution. The cabin is easy to assemble, even if you have no previous experience in building a sauna. The cabin will therefore be shipped in parts with easy assembly instructions. In many countries, the design and construction of premises has not taken into account a specific place for the sauna: This is why the TAIVE Cabin can be tailored to the space available and the customer’s wishes. Therefore it is a great solution for individuals, as well as for hotels and spas that want to upgrade their facilities with a high-quality sauna solution.

The TAIVE Sauna Cabin contains the following elements:

  • The cabin frame
  • Indoor TAIVE panels for the walls and ceiling
  • TAIVE benches
  • Sauna Linear LED lights for the benches and backrests
  • Aspectu thermo-hygrometer, which also has an hourglass function
  • A glass wall and door (you can choose the tone of the hinges)
  • An exhaust fan

 

Custom-made Sauna Cabin: Made just for you

Cariitti has sample designs, but the cabin can also be fully customized to meet your unique needs. For example, a separate dressing room section can be added, the structure of the benches can be customized, and the door or even an entire wall can be made of glass.

Accessories to be ordered separately:

  • Exterior TAIVE panels for the outside walls
  • Floor grate, material Hemlock
  • Dressing room section in the same TAIVE design
  • Tulikivi’s electric sauna heater
The cabin can also be upgraded afterwards, as far as the customer wants: for example, Cariitti’s accessories such as a starlight sky or illuminated thermometers and hygrometers can be added to the cabin, says Peter Ruokonen, CEO of Cariitti.

The cabin is available in the standard colour Hemlock, but it can be tinted to the desired colour using our sauna waxes.


The cabin differs from a normal sauna in that it has, among other things, a well thought-out ventilation and electrification system. However, the sauna baths feel exactly the same as in a traditional Finnish sauna. In a well-ventilated sauna, fresh air is introduced from above the stove, mixing more efficiently with the warm air and not remaining at the floor level. This also makes for a pleasant sauna experience and provides enough oxygen for a longer sauna session.

During the product development process, particular attention was paid to ventilation, which has a significant impact on the sauna experience: good, oxygen-rich air helps you stay in the sauna longer, explains Peter.

The quality of air ventilation is an important differentiating and competitive factor for the TAIVE cabin, as there are models on the market with no or poor ventilation.

Coming soon: TAIVE Single Cabin


We can reveal that the TAIVE cabin will soon have a little brother: TAIVE Single Cabin

The Single Cabin is specifically designed for the Japanese and Dubai markets, where we have identified the need for smaller saunas. In Dubai, almost every bathroom in every apartment has a bathtub that is rarely or never used. The bathtub is often replaced by a shower cubicle or an infrared sauna, for example. The Single Cabin is a great option, which, because of its compact size, can take the place of a bathtub. 

Single Cabin is designed to fit into a small space and is a great option for everyday luxury in the bathroom, says Peter Ruokonen. 

Single Cabin is currently in production and the first units will go on sale in November 2023.
