Sustainability
Designer Profile
Norm Architects are driven by a love of minimalism and a desire to create products that meet real-life needs. A Scandinavian company through and through, Norm Architects are celebrated for their clean, minimalistic designs.
Founders Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen argue that minimalism is nothing new: “It has been the norm in many cultures all over the globe since the beginning of civilization. People have strived for material poverty as a way to inner luxury. Reduction and perfection have been the main goal for both craftsmen and inventors – because avoiding the irrelevant meant emphasising the important.”
The pursuit of purity, simplicity and timelessness is at the heart of every piece created by Norm Architects.
