Solar Egg by Bigert and Bergström for Riksbyggen

The mobile sauna Solar Egg will once again return to the northern parts of Sweden. Now in Skellefteå, around 290 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. Symbolising new beginnings, Solar Egg has already shared its warmth in several stunning locations all over the world: Paris, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Minneapolis, as well as where it all started, in Kiruna and Jukkasjärvi, in northern Sweden. Next stop on the journey is Sara kulturhus’s northern terrace.

Visitors will be able to book their full sauna experience for free and experience the wood burners at a comfortable 80° C. The booking will open in February.
