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.
