Our Story
Welcome to Found—Space, and thank you for your interest in who we are, what we do and how we do it.
Turning Up the Heat on the Sauna Industry
At Found—Space, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge hormetic technology designed to elevate wellbeing and help our clients be their best selves. We believe that life is better when we prioritise health.
We are a company that is dedicated to innovation and advancement—constantly refining our offering and raising the bar for our industry. Every product we create is designed with you in mind, underpinned by our deep understanding of what makes an exceptional sauna or cold plunge experience.
Found—Space began in 2008 as a family-owned leisure business that sold a small selection of saunas that were rebranded Chinese designs, a practice still common across 95% of the industry today. However, after more than a decade of listening to our customers, we embarked on a new journey in 2020—to innovate beyond the ordinary. Our goal was to redefine the infrared sauna industry in Australia, challenging even the most established American brands.
In 2023, after three years of development, we launched the Nu-a and Nyssa collections—revolutionary infrared saunas featuring a patented operating system and innovative designs. We are at the forefront of heat density technology and redefining the infrared sauna experience. Today, we stand toe-to-toe with the industry leaders we once admired, surpassing them in many areas of performance and design.
Our saunas offer superior heat, smarter functionality, and unmatched aesthetics. Our cold plunges are engineered for longevity and effectiveness. All of this is brought to life by a dedicated team operating from our base in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and warehouse facilities across the country.
The Found—Space team is passionate about sauna and cold plunge therapy—it’s not just what we do; it’s who we are. You’ll often find our operations and product teams enjoying contrast therapy sessions before the workday begins. This passion drives us to create exceptional experiences for our customers.
From the beginning, our purpose has extended beyond merely selling products. We are driven by a commitment to helping people live healthier, longer lives. We understand that investing in your wellbeing is a significant decision, and we strive to make that journey enjoyable, seamless, and transformative. At Found—Space, getting healthy is an exciting and rewarding experience.
We invite you to connect with our team, explore our offerings, and discover what our advanced hormetic technology can do for you.
Concept to Installation
- Every Found—Space product starts with a spark of inspiration—an idea from our design team, an industry innovation, customer feedback, which we highly value, or newly released health research. Our in-house Product Innovation Team, headed by Oliver Jones, starts developing initial design concepts.
- Concepts are refined and developed in detail. The team identifies product features and specifications. Electrical circuitry and technological components are carefully considered and appointed. Research into building materials and production processes commences.
- Our factory creates a prototype, which serves as a platform for our team to rigorously test the product. We focus on aspects such as ease of assembly, user-friendliness, and maintenance requirements. If the product needs further refinement, additional prototypes are requested, ensuring that every detail has been considered.
- Once the product meets the Found–Space standard for design, craftsmanship and functionality, it goes into production. The team maintains a high level of quality control throughout the production process.
- Our nationwide network of technicians receives thorough training on how the product is assembled, installed and operated so they can ensure customers enjoy the use of their new Found—Space sauna or cold plunge from day one.
- The new product is introduced to the Australian/New Zealand market, and the first orders are dispatched.
