A Finnish design sauna heater lifts off

The Float electric sauna heater, designed by Eero Aarnio and manufactured by IKI Kiuas, in co-operation with Ilkka Harju and Cariitti Oy, has just been launched to the market. The stylish, futuristic shape of the heater is illuminated to create the effect that it is airborne.

– Eero Aarnio designed his first sauna heater back in the 1960s, so in a way the circle has been completed in this jubilee year, says Samuli Kerrman, CEO of IKI Kiuas.

The distinct appearance and mighty power make the Float heater well suited for classy public saunas and for large private saunas. The novel shape reflects the communal aspect of sauna bathing as it is reminiscent of the circle of people around a camp fire. The 160kg of stones that go into the heater and the 13.8kW output deliver smooth and plentiful warmth for the bathers.

The first deliveries of the Float heater will begin on 1 February 2018.
