伊尼特——为身体和心灵放个假

　　Inipi – a holiday for body and soul

　　现代社会我们都在不断追求着最快、最高、最畅销。无论是在工作时间，还是在闲暇时间，我们的要求总会越来越高。持续的快节奏生活通常会带来精神压力，让我们无法放松，无法集中精力，严重时甚至还可能导致慢性高血压。

　　Our modern world is all about superlatives, such as the fastest, tallest and best selling. Whether at work or in our leisure time, the demands made of us just keep on growing. The ongoing high levels of activity often lead to stress that stops us from relaxing and that has a negative impact on our concentration and, in severe cases, can even lead to chronic high blood pressure.

　　精神压力，是一种文明病

　　Stress, a disease of civilisation

　　精神压力是一种普遍的疾病，是由自主神经系统引起的。和运动神经系统不同，自主神经系统主管所有内脏器官。它主要通过副交感神经系统(也被称为“神经系统镇静分支”，因为它服务人体自身能量的新陈代谢、再生和增强)和交感神经系统(也被称为“应急分支”，通过收缩血管来控制生物体在遇到压力时的表现，选择对抗或者逃避的反应)来保持平衡。

　　Stress is a widespread disease originating in the autonomic nervous system which, unlike the motor nervous system, is responsible for controlling the inner organs. It is mainly kept in balance by the parasympathetic nervous system, also called the “calming branch of the nervous system” because it serves the metabolism, the regeneration and the build-up of the body’s own reserves, and by the sympathetic nervous system, also called the “emergency branch”, which controls the organism’s performance when under stress, as well as the flight-or-fight response, by contracting the blood vessels.

　　持续紧张以及过高的身体和心理压力会使自主神经系统的失去平衡。其结果的一小部分是对后续压力和影响的反应，与此同时重要生命机能(例如血压和新陈代谢)的良好状态会被打乱。

　　Ongoing tension and high physical and mental demands knock the autonomic nervous system out of balance. The result is only a limited response to continual pressure and infections, whilst important vital functions, such as blood pressure and metabolism, are thrown out of kilter.

　　桑拿的神奇功效

　　The sauna as a miracle cure

　　提高自己的健康水平实际上一点都不难。定期的平静和放松有助于心理和身体健康。

　　It’s actually really easy to give one’s health a boost. Regular periods of calm and relaxation enhance emotional and physical well-being.

　　科学研究表明，桑拿浴可以极大地促进身体和精神的放松，并且可以让人从日常工作中暂时解脱出来。冷热交替的刺激可以使自主神经系统恢复平衡，软化血管壁，并且防止高血压的发生。

　　Scientific investigations have shown that taking a sauna greatly enhances physical and emotional relaxation and provides a temporary escape from the daily routine. Alternate hot and cold stimuli restore balance to the autonomic nervous system, exercise the walls of blood vessels and prevent the causes of high blood pressure.

　　放松和保健桑拿文化之所以拥有5000多年的悠久历史绝非偶然。桑拿最早发源于东亚地区，并从那里传到了世界各地。北美洲的原始居民经过改进形成了他们自己独特的“伊尼特”桑拿，在拉科塔印第安人的语言中意为“汗屋”或者“它们会出汗”。

　　It is no coincidence that the relaxing and therapeutic sauna culture dates back more than 5000 years. The first references are found in East Asia, from where it embarked upon its remarkable journey around the globe. The original inhabitants of North America developed their own unique variant called Inipi that, in the language of the Lakota Indians, means “sweat lodge” or “they sweat”.

　　然而，对于世界上的大多数居民来说，在自己的家中安装一个舒适的桑拿房仍然是一个可望而不可及的奢侈想法。即使装了，通常也是装在地下室里，与其他起居空间相分离。

　　However, for the majority of the world’s inhabitants, a sauna within the comfort of their own home is still an unaffordable luxury. And even then it is generally installed in the cellar where it is detached from the rest of the living area.

　　伊尼特——个人专属的健康绿洲

　　Inipi – the highly personal wellness oasis

　　杜拉维特与维也纳的设计团队EOOS一起考虑如何将桑拿从阴暗的地下室中解放出来，将其放到浴室或者起居空间中合适的位置。从旧时经典设计中汲取灵感从而创造出新的设计一直以来都是奥地利设计师们的强项，所以他们自然会借鉴拉科塔印第安人的传统设计。

　　Working with the Vienna-based design team EOOS, Duravit thought about how to take the sauna out of its dismal cellar existence to enable it to take up its rightful position in the bathing and living area. The strength of the Austrian designers has always been to create designs derived from the energy of archaic role models and so it’s not surprising that they were inspired by the tradition of the Lakota Indians.

　　最终，一个全新的桑拿理念“伊尼特”应运而生了。由于布局巧妙，这款屡获殊荣的小屋十分紧凑，可以轻松置于浴室和起居空间内，并且仍能为桑拿房使用者提供充足的空间。前部的全透明玻璃不仅使“伊尼特”桑拿房显得异常通透，而且外观也格外时尚，不会产生任何的封闭感。所有想要的桑拿效果，例如温度、空气湿度、蒸汽、彩色灯光和音响，都可以通过一个酷似石头形状并且手感舒适的控制器，或者一个隐藏在桑拿房外部盖板后的操作模块进行单独调节。

　　The result is an innovative sauna concept – Inipi. Thanks to its ingenious layout, the multiple award-winning cabin is so compact that it fits easily into the bathroom and living area and still offers sauna users plenty of space. The fully glazed front not only gives Inipi an unusual transparency but also an exceptionally stylish look and there is no feeling of being closed in. All the desired sauna functions, such as temperature, air humidity, vaporisation, coloured light and sound, can be individually adjusted via the handy and comfortable manual control that is shaped like a stone, or via an operating module concealed behind a flap on the outside of the sauna.

　　为了确保没有任何缺憾，杜拉维特和EOOS还开发了“Inipi Ama”淋浴模式，与桑拿小屋相得益彰。这是一个完全健康的选择，在自己家里的私密空间享受彻底的放松，为自己的身体充电，以便能够轻松应对日常生活中的各种压力。

　　To ensure that it leaves nothing to be desired, Duravit and EOOS also developed the Inipi Ama shower module to complement the sauna cabin. A complete wellness offer for enjoying sheer relaxation in the privacy of your own home and for recharging your batteries in order to cope with the demands of everyday life.
