Q&A: Nordic Design Furniture
What began as a modest family business handcrafting individual pieces of furniture and selling directly to customers has grown into one of Australia’s leading luxury furniture makers.
Committed to Australian craftsmanship, Nordic Design Furniture have crafted each piece by hand in their Adelaide factory for over 50 years. Invested in supporting local industry and creating meaningful employment opportunities, their dedicated team of skilled artisans use locally sourced materials and proven techniques to create furniture for customers within Australia and internationally.
We spoke to Nordic Design Furniture about their vision, inspiration, and affinity for FibreGuard.
What is your vision and driving passion?
What is your vision and driving passion?
At the heart of Nordic Design Furniture is a firm belief in the value of locally made, handcrafted furniture. We take immense pride in ensuring that nothing we produce is mass manufactured or imported. While offshore alternatives may offer short term savings, we believe true value lies in quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
Our furniture is wholly Australian made, delivering lasting value through timeless aesthetics and exceptional build quality.
How do you satisfy this in the design and manufacturing process?
How do you satisfy this in the design and manufacturing process?
We maintain complete control over every step of the design and manufacturing process. Our pieces are not only handcrafted; they're also carefully considered from initial concept to final detailing. Working with our in-house team and directly with customers, we ensure each design is tailored to the needs of real Australian homes. This end to end approach guarantees enduring style, functionality, and strength.

As a direct to consumer manufacturer, we are uniquely positioned to be guided by the people who use our furniture every day, our customers. Their feedback, preferences, and lived experiences inform our designs in real time. We stay tuned in to evolving trends, design cycles, and the enduring appeal of timeless forms, many of which are on display in our Nordic Design Furniture showroom.

Why does our FibreGuard range offer your customers?
Our customers expect the same level of durability and quality from their upholstery as they do from the furniture itself, that’s why we choose FibreGuard fabrics. These textiles align perfectly with our commitment to longevity and performance.
When a piece of Nordic Design Furniture leaves our showroom, we want to be confident that it will meet the demands of real homes, ones that are busy, vibrant, and lived in. FibreGuard fabrics deliver resilience without compromising on feel or style, standing up to everyday life with children, pets, and multi-generational households. They reflect the same values we apply to our construction, built to last.
Which are your current favourite FibreGuard fabrics?
Which are your current favourite FibreGuard fabrics?
Mingle Mangle was an instant hit with both our team and our customers. We've seen it featured on lounges, dining chairs, and statement armchairs. Its subtle textured pattern and broad colour palette make it a standout choice, offering a playful yet refined look that suits a variety of interior styles.
Bolt is another firm favourite in the Nordic Design Furniture showroom. Its versatility and durability make it a go to option for many of our pieces. Bolt Adriatic, with its rich, deep blue hue, brings warmth and depth to a room, while Bolt Charcoal, a timeless grey, effortlessly integrates into a range of settings, from contemporary to classic. Both have featured heavily in the Nordic Design Furniture showroom.
Indiana, a newer addition to our showroom, has quickly made its mark. This fabric is ideal for those seeking a more textured, dimensional look. With 28 colourways available, Indiana offers exceptional versatility, there’s truly a swatch to suit every space and personal style.
