Modern home sauna fusion blends timeless wellness customs from around the world with current design aesthetics
Introducing the Petra HS System by Effe: A Modern Blend of Ancient Wellness Traditions and Sustainable Design
The Petra HS system, unveiled by Italian sauna specialist Effe at Milan Design Week 2025, is a revolutionary wellness unit that seamlessly integrates a sauna, a traditional hammam (Turkish bath), and a plunge bath into a single, sleek system [1][2]. This innovative creation, designed by Marco Williams Fagioli, honours the authentic cultural rituals behind centuries-old thermal practices while tailoring the experience to contemporary architecture and lifestyle [1][2].
Key Features of the Petra HS System
- Versatility: The Petra HS system can be adapted to various settings, from wilderness retreats and architect-designed homes to urban apartments and luxury hotels [1][2].
- Integrated Wellness: Unlike traditional setups where these components are separate, Petra HS combines the sauna, hammam, and plunge bath into one unit, enabling a complete thermal wellness ritual without the need for multiple installations [1][2].
- Cultural Authenticity: Fagioli's design includes symbolic elements, such as a deliberately low doorway inspired by hammam traditions, enriching the wellness experience with respect to ancient etiquette [1][2].
- Material Innovation: The sauna in the Petra HS system is clad in Swiss pine, a hardy Alpine wood with relaxing and anti-bacterial properties, while the hammam cabin is made from recyclable materials obtained from pure minerals, chosen for their moisture-resistant properties [1][2].
- Eco-conscious Construction: The entire system uses eco-friendly, recyclable materials, aligning with contemporary environmental standards [1][2].
Unique Aspects of the Petra HS System
- The hammam in the Petra HS system features an open-door sensor and a touch-screen control panel for ease of use [1][2].
- Customers can choose between clear or opaque glass for the front wall of the Petra HS system, depending on privacy needs [1][2].
- The steel plunge bath in the Petra HS system is sunk into a bespoke Aspen structure with matching clean lines [1][2].
- The hammam can be combined with a sensory shower featuring color therapy and fragrance diffuser to enhance the overall experience [1][2].
Effe's Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
Effe, founded in 1987, is renowned for its innovative and flexible designs suitable for various locations. Alongside the Petra HS system, the company has recently launched the Cabanon collection of outdoor saunas, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni and Michele Angelini, and 'Sei', a micro wooden structure developed with Agape and Cesare Roversi [1][3].
The popularity of wellness traditions like saunas, hammams, thermal bathing, and others has never been higher, spanning from Morocco to Turkey and from Iceland to Australia [1]. With the Petra HS system, Effe continues to push the boundaries of design and sustainability, offering a multi-sensory and space-efficient home or hotel spa experience that brings together sauna heat, hammam steam, and plunge bath cooling in one integrated, customizable modular system [1][2][3].
