Nordspings' story

About us

Born from a simple desire to shape with our hands, Nordsprings began as a quiet weekend project, and grew into a movement. Today, we design for presence, ritual, and the natural rhythm of water and wood.

About Nordsprings

What started with a single handcrafted tub has evolved into a collection of thoughtfully made objects that invite restoration. Rooted in Nordic tradition and built in Austin, Texas, each piece reflects our belief that true wellness begins with nature and intentional design.

Our practice honors sustainability, enduring materials, and thoughtful design. Through heritage craftsmanship and refined functionality, we create wooden tub for ritual crafted to slow time, quiet the mind, and offer moments of deep connection in homes, retreats, and beyond.

Our story

Nordsprings was born from a desire to reconnect with nature through design that feels grounded, purposeful, and enduring. Inspired by Nordic bathing traditions, we set out to create objects that invite stillness, presence, and the restorative power of water.

Rooted in craftsmanship and built in Austin, Texas, our work combines natural materials with thoughtful engineering. Every tub, every detail, reflects our belief that true wellness begins with simplicity: crafted slowly, designed to last, and made to restore both body and mind.

In Will’s words

Nordsprings began with a simple question: What if design could help us return to the rhythms of nature? That question stayed with me through every chapter of my life from childhood exposure to yoga, acupuncture, and natural remedies, to building and growing a global tech company, and eventually becoming a yoga teacher myself.

I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of art, engineering, and wellness. That’s where Nordsprings lives: a blend of timeless craft, quiet ritual, and thoughtful design.With our team in East Austin, we shape each piece by hand, honoring nature’s materials, supporting long-term wellbeing, and creating experiences that invite pause, presence, and renewal.

Craftmanship

At Nordsprings, craftsmanship is more than technique, it’s a way of thinking. Every tub is carefully built in our Austin workshop, where skilled hands shape, assemble, and finish each piece with precision, patience, and pride.

We use thermally modified hardwoods for strength and durability, honoring heritage woodworking techniques while embracing refined, modern design. Each detail is intentional, each curve considered crafted to stand the test of time and blend seamlessly with nature.
