Design meets sustainability: the emergence of Noranora in Amsterdam's creative landscape

by @industrialkonzept Team

Amsterdam's design world has a new addition: noranora(.design). Behind the brand is Aaron van Bindsbergen, who earned his spurs at Moooi and Fest. Noranora is his way of combining his two passions - manufacturing and design. It's not just another brand; it's a manifesto for sustainable and ethical production. Noranora wants to set new standards without being held back by the challenges of existing supply chains.

The brand's credo is simple yet profound: products should not only be made well, but should last a lifetime and beyond, while reducing the environmental impact through local production and sustainable materials. This environmental awareness does not end with the materials used; even shipping is optimized to avoid excess space, so that products like the "003" chair are not only delivered, but also stand for responsible design.

The "003" chair itself is the quintessence of years of industry experience in a single, authoritative piece. It does not demand attention with unnecessary embellishments; it stands out with its simplicity and expressive design. It is comfortable, with a wide seat and backrest, yet retains an elegance and lightness through its minimal curves and open surfaces.

The manufacturing process is a testament to global collaboration, with production rooted in Italy, renowned for its craftsmanship, and assembly in the Netherlands, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The use of premium cactus-derived vegan leather and a chrome-plated steel frame is not just a choice; it is a commitment to vegan and eco-friendly design that does not sacrifice luxury.

Noranora is set to become more than just a design brand; it is a harbinger of the future of design, where every product is a work of art, every material a choice for the better and every design decision a step towards a more sustainable world.
