“I was completely in love with NORNORM's model. It provided the design and budget flexibility we needed.”
The goal
Holland & Barrett’s goal was to create a workspace that encouraged cross-functional collaboration. However, the team faced a significant challenge: their budget constraints were tight, and 90% of their chairs were broken. Purchasing new furniture would consume most of their budget, so they needed a more flexible and sustainable solution.
NORNORM's solution
NORNORM’s circular furniture subscription service provided a cost-effective alternative, allowing Holland & Barrett to shift from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx). This gave them the freedom to allocate budget towards custom design elements, such as nature-inspired themes, green walls, and wellness-focused prints. By taking care of the foundational furniture needs, NORNORM enabled the design team to focus on personalising the space, while maintaining the company’s natural and sustainable ethos.
The outcome
The result was a vibrant, collaborative, and sustainable office space. NORNORM’s Nordic Light style complemented the natural, wellness-oriented design, allowing Holland & Barrett to showcase their brand identity through elements that echoed ‘the power of nature.’ The use of a furniture subscription model made it possible to stay within budget while creating a space that fosters creativity, focus, and innovation.

We made a great impact with what we had. It wasn’t possible without NORNORM.
Most of the time customers don't realise what costs are involved in a construction, relocation, and redesign of everything.
