Elements is the latest innovation in the FANES world. It is a basic cylindrical suspended sauna, located approximately 9 meters above the ground, which rotates on itself, offering us a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding Dolomites through a large window. In analogy to the five elements of ancient traditions, earth, air, water, fire, and ether, the choice of materials used in its construction was inspired by the five elements that form nature: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. It reflects the concept of a continuous and reciprocal interaction of these forces, thus ensuring the natural and balanced cycle of life. The final geometric shape is that of a torus, expressing the energetic field of every living form that self-sustains. Just as the heart generates the strongest electromagnetic field produced by the human body, the stove positioned at the center of the space represents the source that continues to fuel the sauna's energy flow. This project aims to invite those who enter this space to step out of their daily routine through mindful introspection and tap into the enormous potential that exists within each of us, while the world outside keeps spinning around us.
