NOWN’s essence revolves around unwavering excellence — a commitment deeply ingrained in their very identity: materials. As part of this commitment, NOWN employs four distinct material groups.
In collaboration with MADE OF AIR (MOA), NOWN delves into carbon-negative products, moving beyond mere theory to meticulously craft a concrete reality. Their resolute drive to push boundaries has turned the narrative. NOWN doesn’t just create designs; they craft elevated ones.
NOWN isn’t just about bringing projects to life; they infuse vision with vitality by embodying more than just manufacturing. NOWN forms a group of designers, engineers, creators, and architects, converging into a singular collective. They are completely dedicated to manifesting clients’ visions creating award-winning projects that transcend ordinary solutions to become extraordinary expressions.

Detail-oriented precision and an unrelenting pursuit of quality underpin NOWN’s philosophy. Their fixation on space and form reverberates through every product they create offering Custom Solutions and an unwavering commitment to perfection.
As a material-centric manufacturer, NOWN doesn’t see materials as substances; they view them as personified ideas. At NOWN, materials aren’t merely employed; they are harnessed and explored resulting in spaces that aren’t just utilitarian but also transformative.
Yet, NOWN’s contributions extend beyond design elevation. They emphasise sustainability, environmental-friendly design, and acoustic solutions. Pioneering the way, NOWN strides towards a carbon-negative realm. Through ingenious use of biochar, recycled plastics, and subtractive manufacturing processes, they shift the tide of ecological harm, cultivating responsibility for a sustainable environment.

Carbon-negative materials go beyond traditional sustainability by actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These materials contribute to achieving carbon neutrality and combatting climate change.
In an industry often indifferent, NOWN emerges as a paragon of conscious choices. They introduce InfiKnit™, a cutting-edge design and acoustic innovation. The fusion of fashion technology and architecture yields the first 3D knitted panel solution, enhancing aesthetics and acoustics while drastically reducing water consumption by 95%.
MADE OF AIR delivers solutions and functionality. This carbon-negative material captures and stores carbon dioxide, reducing a project’s carbon footprint. With SoftSound® and CircuLUM™, NOWN underscores their commitment to recycling and sustainability, demonstrating that their dedication permeates every stage of their processes, utilising recycled materials.
