Cubist Sauna

Cubist returns sauna to its most elemental form. Rooted in a geometry refined over generations, its substantial timber walls create a deeply grounded space where heat gathers naturally and lingers.

Configure your Cubist

A form refined by nature.

The cube has defined Nordic sauna design for generations, valued for its simplicity and natural relationship with heat. Cubist honors that enduring geometry, reimagining a familiar form with architectural clarity.

Materials: made your own.

Cubist offers a curated selection of distinctive materials, chosen to complement your space and personal aesthetic. Each finish brings its own character while honoring the simplicity of the original design.

Clean lines, with an edge.

Rooted in the timeless geometry of a cube, Cubist pairs clean lines with balanced proportions. An angled, cantilevered roof adds a subtle architectural gesture while sheltering the structure below.


HEATER

Rooted in Finnish tradition.

At the heart of Oblique, a custom stove—handcrafted in Finland—creates a balanced heat envelope that fills the space with the deep, encompassing warmth essential to the traditional sauna experience.


CONTROLLER

Warmth, ready when you are.

Oblique’s wifi-enabled heater lets you preheat the sauna from anywhere, so the space is warm and ready when you are. Set the temperature remotely and step straight into your ritual, on your schedule.

Materials + Construction

  • Aromatic and
    Soft Interior


    Every VIM sauna is lined in aromatic Western red cedar, with clear-grade Vancouver Island cedar benches that feel comfortable against bare skin. As the room warms, the scent of cedar fills 
the space.

  • Fiberglass- and
    synthetic-free


    Instead of fiberglass or synthetic foam, VIM relies on thick wood panels for insulation. The wood takes on heat slowly, then releases it back into the room, creating a deep warmth that stays with you.

  • A cleaner approach


    Even what you don’t see matters. The structural resin within our panels is zero-VOC and rated to 400°F—well beyond sauna temperatures—so the materials surrounding you are chosen with the same care as the ones you touch.

  • Designed for
    Longevity


    Our exterior materials are made to live outdoors, without chemical preservatives. Built to perform for more than 20 years, they weather gradually and beautifully, taking on the character of their surroundings.

Exterior cladding options

Black Spruce

Thermally modified spruce with a deep, even black finish across every board. The cladding is wire brushed to give it a matte and understated finish.

Kodiak Spruce Thermal

Thermally modified spruce in a soft, warm natural tone. The most popular Thermory exterior in the United States.

Ash Thermal

Thermally modified ash, a dense hardwood with a rich brown tone and pronounced grain. Warm, refined and substantial.

Corten Steel

Weathering steel that forms its own protective patina over time, deepening to a dark rust brown. Bold and architectural.

Nakamoto Shou Sugi Ban

Wood finished in the traditional Japanese method of charring the surface, known as yakisugi. Textured, dark and organic.
