Born out of a desire to make a difference, NOMA is a French publisher of high-quality furniture and objects, conceived by designers and crafted from recycled and biosourced materials.
After careful consideration, Bruce Ribay, architect, and Guillaume Galloy, engineer, founded their own responsible furniture editor, primarily made from recycled and biosourced materials. At the core of NOMA editions’ approach is eco-design from A to Z. The objective: to transform waste into beautiful creations, driven by the belief that beauty is the most powerful catalyst for change and that recycled materials are the noblest of all.
Bruce Ribay shares the genesis and development of NOMA Editions, the first publisher of eco-designed furniture made in France.

Maud Caubet Architects agency plans a complete restructuring to bring the building up to date in terms of thermal requirements and accessibility, providing an appropriate response to contemporary needs and uses.
“The idea is to enhance these volumes, reclaim the previously unused attic space, and work on the facades to breathe new life into this heritage,” says Maud Caubet. To achieve this, original materials and colors such as light stone-toned wood and black metal will be used.
This extensive project aims to adapt the building to new urban uses while fitting into a broader approach at the scale of the block, including generous greenery!
