Carrying on the traditions of a childhood spent in Sweden, Gucci has long embraced heat therapy as a healing ritual—whether slipping in a post-workout steam session or unwinding beneath an infrared blanket. Now, just in time for summer, she’s turning a lifelong dream into a reality with a custom home sauna installation by Sauna Sons.
Featuring a cedar wood interior, authentic stone heater, and (Gucci’s favorite detail!) A-frame roof, the sauna transforms the backyard into a little sanctuary for the whole family. To complete the space, Gucci added a Badesofa mat and pillow set for an extra layer of comfort.
Research has linked regular sauna sessions to reduced inflammation, better cardiovascular health, improved stress adaptation, and boosted muscular recovery. But for Gucci, the profound feeling of mental wellbeing that comes with the ritual is every bit as remarkable.
“I love stepping in after Pilates and finishing with a cold plunge,” says Gucci, who enjoys a daily round of heat-and-cold therapy at her Bedford, New York home. “I always feel more grounded and relaxed.”
It’s a worthwhile investment that provides a cherished time to pause. Simply put, says Gucci: “This is my new happy place.”
