Research: Drop did a market research of outdoor saunas and found out there was no minimalistic Scandinavian design saunas and therefore wanted to create one.
Inspiration: Drop Sauna and Drop Lodge are places for relaxation and ideal places to re-connect with yourself and with the surrounding nature. The Drop shape was inspired by the minimalistic beauty of Finnish nature and our thousands of lakes.
