A sweaty dream

Back in 2020, during the darkest times of the Covid-19 first lock-down, we were throwing around ideas about projects we would love to bring to life one day… And among all the crazy ideas there was one that somehow felt and became bigger than a thought – a floating sauna.

We dreamt about a sauna that would be a space to gather during the cold winter days while doing something good for the body. At the same time, we also realized there were so many people in Copenhagen that would love the same apart from us and our friends, since most saunas in the city require a membership and have such a long waiting list.

With all the time available, we started investigating what it would take to make it a reality and how to design it. We spent several months to gather the necessary material and were finally ready to start building the sauna in November 2021. One can imagine there is no worse month to start building something new. The cold, dark and short winter days really get you. But against all the odds, the joy was even greater when we finally finished building the sauna in January 2022, after two and a half months of hard work next to our everyday jobs. After dozens of meetings, countless calls and emails, we were granted the authorization to start our business on the canals of Copenhagen.

The Platform sauna is our way of enjoying the wonderful canals of Copenhagen during winter and also share it with others. We are so happy to welcome you on-board to experience the beauty of Copenhagen from a new angle.
