Step into the Carinthia and choose your warmth. Golden Designs' GDI-8123-01 is a 3-person outdoor hybrid sauna built from natural reforested Canadian Hemlock — run it as a full spectrum infrared cabin for a quiet, enveloping session, or fire the 8.0 kW traditional stove for deep, authentic dry heat. With PureTech™ Near Zero EMF technology, a bronze privacy glass door, and a barn-style roof with accent lighting, the Carinthia is a considered outdoor retreat built to be used in every season.
Design & Craftsmanship
The Carinthia is constructed from natural reforested Canadian Hemlock — a tight-grained, aromatic softwood prized for its dimensional stability and natural resistance to moisture — with a waterproof stain on the exterior built to hold up against rain, sun, and seasonal temperature swings. A bronze privacy tempered glass door adds a refined entry point, while exterior roof accent lighting gives the cabin a warm architectural presence after dark. The Carinthia is designed for outdoor installation and year-round use.

The Ritual
The Carinthia is built for those who want the full range of sauna experience in a single outdoor cabin. A slow infrared session on a weekday morning. A full traditional heat on a winter evening. The bronze glass, the accent lighting, the hemlock interior — every detail is chosen to make the session feel like a destination worth returning to, season after season.
