There's a scratch on my table; can someone fix it?
We understand that wear and tear are part of the unique journey your furniture takes. Imperfections, like scratches, are not just blemishes but historical imprints that contribute to the character of your piece. They play a vital role in our circular model, promoting sustainability by reducing waste and conserving resources. Embracing these imperfections is a beautiful way to participate in creating a more sustainable future. If you'd like to explore more about wear and tear and how it adds character to your furniture, check out our Wear & Tear Book. While we don't offer repair services, we encourage you to appreciate the story your piece tells through its marks.

Furniture & Customisation

Can I access the catalog of products?
Our design team works with product sets, setting us apart from traditional furniture platforms. Instead of browsing through a static catalogue, our design team crafts tailored solutions based on your company's needs. We then implement these solutions using available products in our circulation. This approach benefits you by providing personalised solutions and contributes to the planet's well-being.
Is it possible to change the colour of a product?
During your check-in, specify functional changes, and we'll update the 3D design accordingly. Note that we handle functional, not stylistic changes—swapping functions or adjusting sets to meet needs. Colour changes are considered stylistic and aren't eco-friendly; We've curated colours and materials that serve as a solid foundation. Interested in accessorising your office? Check out the attached book for inspiration!
Can I receive a product list for the furniture in my office?
Absolutely! Reach out to our Support team at support@nornorm.com for the details you need. And while you're at it, check out your subscription page for more options and information about your circular subscription.

Why are my desks not plugged in?
To get your office fully operational as soon as possible, please ensure that electricity is prepared for desks and meeting tables before we arrive at the site for implementation. Furniture that needs electricity is marked with a power plug in your design (only visible in the 2D view). You will need to connect all devices to a power socket and finalise the cable management on workstations after our implementation is complete.
