Sweden's Hot Pink Crystal

The unexpected crystal sauna.

Designed by @studiobigertbergstrom, the Lithium Crystal Sauna sits on the banks of Sweden’s Skellefte River, looking like a giant pink gem dropped from outer space.

Its mirrored titanium exterior is inspired by the geometric shapes of lithium crystals, reflecting the water, trees and sky around it.

And the best part? It’s not just a sculpture.
It’s a real, fully functioning public sauna.

Part of WasteLand Climate Action Park, it gives a former industrial site a bold and fun second life.

Hot, pink and impossible to ignore.

Bravo!
