NOMI’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Practices
DEDICATED TO RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
At NOMI, we are proud to uphold the highest standards of sustainability, transparency, and responsible sourcing. Our approach reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship, product longevity, and ethical practices across all stages of production.
NOMI’s Approach to the Environment
Minimising our impact
At NOMI, we create timeless, durable furniture with minimal environmental impact. Our designs prioritise longevity, sustainable materials, and low-VOC finishes. We reduce waste through efficient, recyclable packaging and use FSC-certified timber where possible. Every piece is crafted for lasting use, responsible sourcing, and healthier spaces.
NOMI’s Take Back Program
free returns for end-of-life furniture
NOMI’s Take-Back Program supports a circular economy by offering free returns for end-of-life furniture. Usable items are refurbished and resold, with 100% of proceeds donated to the Australian Conservation Foundation. Non-reusable pieces are responsibly recycled, reducing landfill and supporting sustainability. Together, we extend product life, reduce waste, and help regenerate nature for future generations.
Purpose Driven Design
Our commitment to ethical practices
At NOMI, sustainability is more than a requirement—it’s a responsibility we embrace. Our commitment to ethical practices, lasting design, and environmental care supports a healthier future for all. By choosing NOMI, you’re joining us in shaping a more equitable, circular, and sustainable furniture industry.
Our Partnership with the Australian Conservation Foundation
environmental support
We believe great design should contribute to a better future. Through our partnership with the Australian Conservation Foundation, a portion of every purchase supports ecosystem restoration, climate action, and environmental advocacy. Together, we’re helping regenerate nature, reduce emissions, and protect the planet for future generations—designing for today, growing for tomorrow.
The UN Global Compact
Our commitment to social responsibility
NOMI is a proud signatory to the UN Global Compact, committing to ethical business, sustainability, and social responsibility. We respect human rights, partner with ethical factories, protect the environment through sustainable materials and practices, and uphold integrity in all operations. This commitment reflects our mission to balance design, innovation, and responsibility—creating a better, more sustainable future for all.
About us
NOMI was established in 2013 by Henry Gresson in Surry Hills, Sydney, with a mission to create an innovative and flexible design system that allows users to customise furniture online.
Manufacturing
At NOMI, responsible manufacturing is at the heart of everything we do. Aligned with the principles of the UN Global Compact, we are committed to upholding human rights, fair labour practices, sustainability, and transparency in every step of our process.
Design
The original NOMI collection was born of a desire to honour craftsmanship and honesty of Japanese joinery. In Japanese woodworking, a "nomi" is a chisel—considered the purest tool, representing the woodworker and their craft.
Technology
At NOMI, innovation has been at the heart of what we do since 2013. We’ve spent over a decade developing advanced online configuration tools to empower architects and designers to customise furniture online.
