Noho | Move
Born in Aotearoa New Zealand, Noho has deep roots and a deep respect for the natural beauty and cultural values of our home; ‘noho’ means ‘to sit, stay, dwell, live’ in the Māori language.
It embodies a fundamental belief in kaitiakitanga, the kinship and connection between humans and the natural world, and strives to work in innovative ways with a focus on designing better things in a better way. Manufacturing their products in New Zealand allows the design team to closely manage quality and reduce waste while enabling them to power production with 82% renewable energy.
The Noho brand launched in the USA in April 2020 and have been proud advocates of the New Zealand story which resonates with their audience. The team hope to further their impact in the USA by highlighting the collaborative and multi-functional needs of workspaces.
“Furniture has not evolved to keep pace and support the change. Our products are designed to respond and support these environments and the people in them.” Says Kent Parker, Co-CEO Formway.
