Nora Voon Memphis Folding Chair
Memphis Folding Chair is Iron Design Award winner in 2021 - 2022 Furniture Design Award Category.
Memphis Folding Chair

The simple yet elegant design is handcrafted in rustproof stainless steel in powder coated finish. Inspired from a paperclip and childhood candies, this a stackable folding chair that has a very clean and minimal frame design. The idea is to make a folding chair that pays attention to detail like the exposed brass screws and the groove throughout the frame of the chair. The profile is very simple and was designed intentionally to make it look almost like a line drawing therefore drawing the viewer to look closer at the details. The chair can be easily flat packed or stacked for large shipment

Nora Voon

Nora Voon is the Founder and Principal of Noda Designs. A graduate of Inchbald School of Design in London, UK, she was the recipient of the prestigious Fox Linton award for her innovative commercial design for Preen Fashion House. Working with artisans and designers, her projects span across the globe in Europe, Asia, Middle East and N. America. Deeply inspired by her travels, her love of traditional craftsmanship, bold colours and graphic organic motifs, you can feel her passion and sneaky sense of humour in the beautiful materials she chooses, the objects she crafts, the spaces she manifests. An artist, a connector and a dreamer, she understands that it takes a village to make things happen and counts on the best people to do it right. That’s what Noda is, a collective of incredible talent, a concept store, a design firm. She has worn many hats but always goes back to her first love which is Art and Design. She didn't start out in the design field, after many twists and turns, she came back full circle to do what she loves most. She can’t imagine doing anything else. Part of why she loves her job is that she gets to see the world through an interior designer’s eyes. People often ask her what makes a good interior designer and her answer has always been travel. Travel as far as you can, as often as you can, because the world is our oyster! It changes you as a designer and opens your horizon to trying new things. Understanding different cultures and history make the designs even more intricate and detailed. In most of her interior project, there is always some element of influence from a place she had travelled before or seen and it is most prominent in the products that she makes, hence her tagline, Made from the world. After working many years internationally she decided it is time to launch her own home collection inspired by her travels whilst working with amazing artisans she has met over the years. Her constant research worldwide has honed her eyes and skills in forecasting young and upcoming designers. As designers, it is imperative that we constantly update ourselves with what is new in our industry in order to stay relevant and informed. In addition to launching her own collection, her interactive concept studio showcases new talents with pop up events that will inform and educate the community with trends, art news, new innovations and engaging a dialogue between the industry and the public. This concept space is a design studio that will showcase a collective of talented artists and designers alike that promote individuality while creating a multi-layered stimulating and sensory experience.
