Who We Are
studioNola - Lawrence, Kansas
studioNOLA is the collaboration of two friends who met over a beer one summer evening in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. Both had a strong interest in original design, whether it was contemporary art or furniture, but found that much of what they liked was a bit beyond their means. 10 years and many conversations later, studioNOLA was founded on the idea of creating innovative, yet affordable modern furnishings while being mindful of the production process. Our goal is to provide sustainable designer-built furniture.
Can good design be inexpensive? Should good design be available to more of those who want it? Isn’t sustainability as much about durability, functionality and aesthetics as it is sustainable materials? These are the questions that drive us at studioNOLA and we say YES to all of them!
studioNOLA is pleased to offer innovative design for the modern lifestyle. Striving for a timeless appearance and created to be versatile in function, our furniture is constructed by hand ensuring durability and quality.
