Pixxla is, in one sentence, a mobile, self-service, energy self-sufficient, container sauna with a wood-burning stove.

The purpose of our project is to bring the unique experience of a true sauna, meaning sauna bathing in nature with cooling in a natural water source, in our case a lake.

It is in our interest to increase the interest in sauna bathing also among young people who, like me, have a problem to be able to disconnect, to switch off from their daily duties.

We see a shortage of quality saunas on the market and that is why we want to contribute to a better experience by creating a positive relationship to sauna with our pixxla.

What does the name Pixxla mean?

The word pixla, piksla or pixle comes from the German dialect Püchsel, which is a diminutive of Püchse, in Standard German Büchse – can, tin, which comes from the Medieval Latin buxis – box, which is a modification of pyxis, and this in turn is a transliteration of the Ancient Greek πυξίς – box made of boxwood derived from πυξός – boxwood. Compare e.g. rifle, pyxida, mace, Greek πυξίδα or English box.

The two letters XX in turn symbolize the door of a container.
