Welcome to Episode 9 of Behind the Design!

Working with reliable and high-quality suppliers is essential for any interior designer, especially when prioritising Australian-made products. Sourcing from trusted, local manufacturers not only ensures consistency and craftsmanship but also supports sustainable practices and our local economy. Collaborating with suppliers who understand your vision and can deliver on time is crucial to bringing a project to life, and when those products are Australian-made, the added value of quality and supporting homegrown businesses makes the partnership even more rewarding.

Nood Co is a design and manufacturing company, producing industry-leading concrete basins and bathtubs right here in Australia. With a taste for restraint, Nood Co aims to explore one of the most tried and tested building materials, concrete. The goal with every Nood Co product is to find duality in form and function. Taking a traditionally masculine material and reworking it into a soft and feminine design. The resulting range are pieces which feel ethereal, curved and refined. Considered designs, available in 21 colours, paired back to their Nood state.

Recording the episode with Chris Walker, Owner of Nood Co was such a blast! One of the standout moments was when he shared how he manufactured his first-ever concrete basin in a friend’s garage. It goes to show that even successful businesses often start with a lot of trial and error! Hearing Chris talk about how he turned potential setbacks into silver linings was also incredibly inspiring. It’s a nice reminder that perspective is key and that you really never know what's around the corner.

We’re thrilled to be using Nood products for an exciting new Pilates studio project (location is under wraps for now!). Their craftsmanship, especially with Australian-made pieces, is always such a pleasure to incorporate into our designs. The attention to detail and quality they offer makes it easy to trust their products will enhance any space, ensuring both form and function are met. We love collaborating with Nood on projects because their pieces not only elevate the aesthetic but also feel uniquely tailored to each client’s needs. Looking forward to seeing it all come together!

We invite you to GET IN TOUCH with us and we look forward to working with you on your next project, whatever it may be!
