We are Nood Co.

Our team set about to transform this rugged building product into something more supple. We developed a unique UHP concrete composition. A system of colouring, finishing and a packaging suitable to move concrete across the planet promptly and safely.

A new consciousness in concrete is here.

Nood Co is an award-winning, acclaimed design and manufacture firm. Our aim is to present you with ethical and enticing products that inspire a new freedom when designing. So you can quite simply do what you do best...design.

Matt is head of design for the concrete furniture design firm

"Each Nood piece is an exploration of duality. We took a masculine building material and presented it in its most feminine state, adding curve, form, colour and proportion. We gave our pieces a voice and sense of fun, exercising restraint with the design to allow the material to speak. We have made concrete more approachable, we made it lighter, stronger and sealed for real world function."

Matt Di Costa, Product Designer & co-owner of the Nood Co. brand.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY

Nood Co’s manufacture process focuses on reducing environmental impact for a sustainable future.

Production

Locally sourced, the land of fine sand.

Sustainable practices are paramount at Nood Co. From prototyping through to delivery, each step in the manufacture process has been modified with a sustainable view.
85% of Nood Co’s concrete composition and packaging material is sourced from within Australia, including the finest sand grades and natural admixes, right through to recycled packaging.

Zero VOC

All Nood Co products are manufactured with a zero VOC concrete composition and sealed in a food-safe, UV stable, extremely low VOC sealer. The final product is waxed in a pure natural beeswax polish, ensuring a 100% non-toxic, safe interaction for the end user.

Embodied Energy

Nood Co has created a unique blend of ultra high performance concrete that uses around 96% less energy than that to create its ceramic equal. A ground breaking statistic.

Nood Co basin manufacture involves the use of multiple silicon molds and a handmade process. Machinery-aided manufacture has been avoided to ensure an extremely low embodied energy and pollution emission rate, whilst not compromising on efficiency and production output.

Emissions

Nood Co products are manufactured and assembled in Australia and hence affect much lower rates of transport emission.

Nood Co consumes only the supplies and resources required to manufacture the end product. Nood’s unique manufacture system creates a 97% affirmed product pass-through rate, ensuring a less than 3% waste rate.
