Fresnel`s Sauna is an off-grid and carbon free solar powered sauna. It`s construction is made of upcycled and recycled materials. The outer shell of used canvas gathers heat efficiently and keeps the inside temperature high. A movable Fresnel lens on the roof directs the sunlight into a stainless steel orb that acts as the heater for the sauna. The sauna is lightweight and one person can carry and assemble the sauna anywhere. This sauna is an eco-friendly and truly sustainable alternative to the conventional sauna.
