NORA SCHMIDT DESIGN

NOI
NOI is a collection of clothes racks inspired by the traditional Japanese Kimono stands. All pieces follow the same principle – a thick wooden base pierced by the thinner legs. The shape of the figuative pieces depends on the order of the holes and the length of the legs. Realised in collaboration with Ines Königsmann.

AVALANCHE
AVALANCHE - a project by Nora Schmidt and Thade Precht - is a versatile presentation furniture inspired by typical alpine avalanche barriers. It comes in two different widths. Its bars and shelves allow for a flexible use. And for transportation and storing purposes, it can be folded up instantly. The product held premiere on September 24th at the grand opening of Waldraud. The space of the fashion and interior design vendor in the heart of Zurich/Switzerland is now equipped with a range of six Avalanche-models.

Nora Schmidt, born in 1980, studied product design at Bauhaus Universität Weimar and graduated in 2005. Since 2007, after two years assistance of the Copenhagen based textile designer Astrid Krogh, she writes as a freelance author and creates video reportages - particularly for the international online portal Architonic. In 2011 she became member of Designjournalists, an international network of journalists in the field of architecture and design. Since 2010 she has been setting up her own design studio. Nora Schmidt lives and works in Berlin.
