But line yeah idk it might be kinda cool to have a sauna that’s different from the traditional.

There's plenty of options to make non-traditional sauna without creating a room-sized petri-dish. Anything fabric-like isn't a part of the process.

And there's also examples on why traditional way to build sauna is the way it is. There's at least urban rumour about some cruise ship where some oil-prince had decided that artesanal wooden benches weren't fancy enough and insisted that they're replaced with copper plates bent in shape. They found out why people prefer wood in sauna pretty quickly.

I've heard this story in a form where it was war repatations to the soviet union. They specified copper not because they don't understand saunas, but so they could scrap it.

"Fabric-like" isn't the only way to create texture.

It's just a simple fact that tile is the easiest, and pretty much only, option.

If one was a crazy-rich rich person, it would be possible to make an astro-turf sauna, but... it's not cost-efficient.

You know what is exchangable in the sauna? Wooden buckets/scoops with plastic ones.

You can't sit on copper in a 110C sauna because of it's thermodynamic properties but plastic is fine. Well, depends on the plastic, but you know.
