Founded as a green carpet company in 2008, Nood is committed to a new process that resists the gravitational, historical, and habitual pull of shopping for carpet and, instead, invites our clients to participate in designing the finished product. The logical yet unprecedented premise is to simply shift from the traditional supply-based model to a demand-based model. This philosophy is realized by applying current trends in fashion and technology to a manufacturing industry with too much capacity and a design industry with too little time.
Instead of trying to predict what designers will want in the future and filling warehouses with products and samples, Nood only makes carpet (and even samples) when someone requests it and in exactly the colors they choose. Designers can stop the vicious cycle of simply shopping and actually start designing.
Nood benefits from a lean and green business model where everything is made-to-order (no warehouses), and our clients are able to eliminate the tedious amount of time associated with selecting and re-selecting patterns and colors. Instead, they collaborate with Nood to tailor any pattern to a precise color that works with the ever-shifting demands of evolving projects.
Saving time is powerful. Offering high-performance, green carpet at competitive prices is attractive. Eliminating volumes of carpet that may never be used is environmentally friendly. Providing designers with a process that allows color and pattern selection, seamless coordination with other finishes, and no minimums or up-charges is the new paradigm in carpet manufacturing.
