Last week we delivered a 5’x7’x9’ PNW Classic with a Shou Sugi Ban finish and functional square porthole window, to Max in Hood River Oregon. He’s just getting his space dialed in, and it looks like it’s really coming together—we hope it’s a toasty Thanksgiving…and wish everyone out there a warm and cozy Thanksgiving!

Sometimes lightning can make a huge difference. This Nükk 8’x8’ Mod has a color adjustable, heat resistant, LED strip under the lower bench—it matches the glow of the pool perfectly!

The Porthole Window
The first portholes appeared on 15th-century sailing ships — small circles of glass and brass, built to endure relentless waves and salt air while giving sailors a glimpse of horizon and light. The round shape wasn’t just an aesthetic choice; it was practical engineering. A circle distributes pressure evenly, resisting the stress of open water. Over time, the porthole became an icon of craftsmanship — a symbol of durability, exploration, and quiet strength.

In a Nükk, the porthole is a conversation between airflow and heat. When opened, it invites a gentle draft that refreshes the space, increasing oxygen and diminishing CO2, just as the old shipwrights intended.

They can be added to any Nükk, and come in a variety of options—circular or square, and with a steel or brass finish.

Here is an early look at a brand new Nükk sauna model, The Cascade, that we delivered to coach Joel Jamieson yesterday. This design has a reverse slope roofline and is specifically well suited to PNW weather, because when you are sitting inside during a downpour, it’s like you’re behind a waterfall.
The design is flexible, if for some reason you want to divert the water, so it doesn’t run off the front, a rain gutter and downspout can be added.
We’ll be releasing more photos and specs, and updating the Nükk website next month.
Be sure to follow coach Joel Jamieson, he’s going to put out some great information pertaining to sauna protocols very soon…and we will post more images of his setup over the coming weeks.

Think about this, your home is double walled and insulated so it will hold temperature efficiently and handle all weather conditions. So why is it most sauna companies sell single walled uninsulated kits and barrels? It’s because they prioritize form over function, and are focused on the bottom line. At Nükk we believe that form follows function and in people over profit. What we build is driven by a love of quality craftmanship. We’re artisans, inspired by Finnish standards, working in a traditional way. This means no single walled uninsulated barrels or kits—ever.

Nükk is committed to helping folks be healthier and happier, however, we realize true happiness is a complicated equation. While it’s unlikely a sauna company is going to solve a mystery that has confounded philosophers since the beginning of time, we believe we’re on to something. According to the World Happiness Report, Finland is the happiest place on earth; and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, they have more saunas than any other country (one sauna for every two people)—correlation established!

Introducing the Nükk Founders Series.

The Founders Series is our sauna sandbox.
Handcrafted. Over-thought (in a good way).
Limited because, frankly, we’re building them by hand.

It’s what happens when we get restless.
When sketches turn into sawdust.
When we craft something unusual — but beautiful. Where wellness meets wonder.

This is how we let curiosity off the leash —
saunas that don’t just fit in, they stand out.

They’re not for everyone.
They’re limited-edition, slightly obsessed-over,
one-and-done, first-come-first-served creations.

––––––

FS1 — our very first sauna in the Founders Series.

A one-of-a-kind, mid-century modern 8’×8’×9’ handcrafted piece of art,
wrapped in charcoal-black cedar shingles.

Blonde porch and interior.
Clear cedar benches.
Three illuminated slot windows.
Black penny tile.
A starlight package overhead.

There is only of them, and it’s at our shop right now. Available until it’s not —
so reach out if you’re interested.

As of today, the new Nükk Thermometer & Hygrometer is officially available!

We’ve partnered with Fischer Instruments, crafted in Drebach, Germany, to bring nearly a century of precision into every Nükk sauna.

Since 1945, Fischer has been hand-building thermometers and hygrometers of uncompromising quality — trusted around the world for their accuracy and longevity.

Now, those same German-engineered instruments are tuned to the soul of Nükk — ensuring your sauna’s heat and humidity are measured with absolute precision.

Every new Nükk Sauna now comes with one.
