Today, accessibility is a central part of our design brief and product development process, and something that is second nature to Nola. ‘Accessible’, just like ‘inclusive’, are more than keywords - they top the list of requirements for each and every product we design.

Kaskad was something special when it was launched ten years ago, and the chair continues to turn heads to this day. Björn Dahlström, the chair’s designer, tells us about some of the things that inspired the award-winning design and its development.

Långbordet is currently one of Nola's most popular products, and its history began at a community development project in Helsingborg. White Arkitekter worked collaboratively with artist Ebba Matz to develop the concept. After they carried out interviews with locals, the inspiration for a long table was born.

As cities develop bicycle infrastructures, they’re investing in the environment too. The benefits of urban cycling are easy to understand, but awareness of them is slow to spread. Leading experts say its time to break the vehicle norm, and introduce urban cycling to create lasting change.

Every day, cities evolve at a rapid pace, and the needs of urban cyclists grow with them. Today, city-dwellers are cycling more than ever before, which is good for the environment, and important for the well-being of all. As urban planning and infrastructure projects reflect these new priorities, our range of products for cyclists is meeting them too. They’re making it easier to choose to cycle, and more satisfying to leave the car in the garage. This selection of bike racks, bollards, bike sheds and other Nola products are designed to keep urban cyclists on the move.

The outside is the new inside, as many say right now. Perhaps it’s to do with the corona pendemic, or connected with our physical and mental wellbeing. Regardless of the reasoning, it’s definitely time we broke with the ’inside norm’ and in doing so our preconceptions that work always has to happen indoors.
