Black Seed is Europe’s first venture capital firm exclusively dedicated to supporting Black founders. They were founded to address the chronic underfunding of Black-led startups, providing both capital and strategic support to bridge critical gaps in the venture ecosystem. Based in Brixton Village, their mission is to empower Black entrepreneurs by giving them access to resources, mentorship, and a vibrant community network. Through their commitment to fostering a diverse, inclusive entrepreneurial landscape, they aim to create lasting impact and drive systemic change across industries.
Their new 24,000-square-foot office space in Brixton was an exciting step forward, but with a completely empty, newly renovated space, they needed a solution that could bring it to life. They wanted a space they could be proud of, somewhere that would foster collaboration and inspiration, but finding the right balance was challenging. They considered hiring an interior designer, sourcing modern and flexible furniture, and staying cost-efficient, but it was difficult to find a single solution that addressed all these needs. NORNORM offered a complete package, from design support to high-quality, flexible furniture, which was exactly what they needed.
By partnering with NORNORM, Black Seed VC has created a dynamic office environment that aligns with their mission and values. The flexibility of the subscription model has enabled the team to remain agile as they grow, reallocating funds previously earmarked for furniture into core business initiatives. Additionally, the circular model has helped the firm meet its sustainability targets, reducing waste and their carbon footprint while contributing to an eco-friendly workspace.
The results speak for themselves. Black Seed VC now operates from an office that perfectly balances functionality, flexibility, and sustainability. By choosing NORNORM, they’ve been able to avoid the upfront costs and waste associated with traditional furniture purchases, instead reallocating resources to other business priorities. Our circular model has also helped them meet their sustainability targets, reducing waste and their overall carbon footprint while creating a workspace they can be proud of.
