Exploring the artisanal know-how of our French Maison
NORKI Maker & Curators – The French Art of Living
As a Maison inheriting an artisanal know-how applied to precious materials, we shape hides and furs to transform them into objects devoted to the art of living.
Throughout our history, we have enriched our expertise and affirmed a unique vision of refinement – one guided by ever-renewed creative freedom.
Under the artistic direction of Sonia Linard, founder of our Maison, each object, entirely handmade in France, combines the exacting standards of haute couture with the nobility of raw materials. These unique and durable pieces – rugs, throws, cushions, furniture, and seating – come to life and meaning in our Workshop, a true jewel box for our skilled artisans. We enhance this world through a curation of vintage objects signed by the greatest designers of the 20th century, carefully restored by our hands.

Interior Design – Chalet Studio by Norki
A true laboratory of creativity, led by Sonia Linard, our Studio Chalet brings together interior architects and designers to give life to your projects — from the choice of a single decorative detail to the complete design of your chalet. Thanks to the richness of our in-house expertise and our commitment to bespoke excellence, we bring your most ambitious dreams to life across the world.
“The mountain is my refuge and my source of inspiration. I love its strength, its authenticity, its raw beauty. It is this passion that guides me in the art of enhancing mountain chalets, bringing them warmth, elegance, and a refined sense of detail. Because creating beautiful things is, above all, about extending the emotion that nature offers us.” Sonia Linard
Our Design Office
We know how to playfully reinterpret the classicism of a family chalet, create interiors that are rich and maximalist, or, on the contrary, minimalist and refined — always with elegance and a sense of preciousness, never ostentation. Through sketches, plans, and 3D renderings, our interior architects and designers guide you every step of the way in decorating your space.
OUR EXPERTISE
From Loro Piana to Pierre Frey, from Lelièvre to Métaphores – While our Maison is celebrated worldwide for its expertise in hides and furs, we have also mastered the art of fabrics, always driven by our commitment to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Upholstery Sewing
Our skilled seamstresses passionately craft your bespoke curtains, sheers, and blinds, incorporating embroidered trims or delicate ruffles. Curtain headers, like haute couture pieces, are enhanced with tailored details such as French pleats, gathers, eyelets, or flat pleats. Draperies and wall coverings combine aesthetic beauty with acoustic performance, brought to life by their expert hands.
Our skilled upholsterers restore your vintage furniture and craft bespoke pieces tailored to your needs. Headboards become supremely comfortable, stools unique, and seats truly exclusive. Traditional and contemporary upholstery – two arts intertwined – come together to create your most exquisite pieces.
Upholstery Installers
Our upholstery installers bring their expertise to the service of excellence. From handling transportation to full installation, they manage every step – curtain rod fitting, window dressing, and wall hanging placement – with unmatched precision. Operating worldwide, our team ensures that every Norki creation receives a flawless finish.
Lunéville embroidery, heir to a centuries-old regional craftsmanship, offers the precision and poetry of a true lace of light.
The hands of our embroiderers embody a precious and delicate art, revealing the longtime of artisanal work. Each thread, each stitch, each bead embodies a unique finesse and gives your Norki objects a distinctive touch.
Embroidering a curtain, decorating a seat — this art becomes the exclusive signature of your decoration, the luxury of custom-made.
Fur Couture
A family heritage and the beating heart of our Atelier, fur couture embodies excellence and the patience behind time-honoured gestures. Working with noble and delicate materials requires patience, precision, and a profound understanding of the hides. In the hands of our artisans, the hide becomes soft and precious, transformed into throws, cushions, or art pieces — unique creations where raw material reveals all its nobility.
Bespoke: the source of Norki’s exclusive creations.
Colours, sizes, materials, finishes—our high-end customization service caters to your desires and requirements, reaching clients worldwide.
From the blueprint of your sofa to the sketch of your rug, from the design of your embroidery to the selection of materials, our design office supports you through every step of your project. Our skilled upholsterers and seamstresses then bring your unique creation to life.
Because every project tells a story, we craft pieces that reflect your world—where luxury meets emotion.
Maison of Artisans – EPV Certified
Norki, proudly certified as a Living Heritage Company (EPV), embodies French artisanal excellence. This prestigious label reflects our commitment to the arts and our dedication to Made in France.

Vintage Curation
Inspired by Sonia and Thierry Linard’s passion for mid-20th-century Scandinavian vintage design, our collection reflects their desire to share a story, a vision, and unique expertise. Carefully selected by our specialists directly in Scandinavia, these rare pieces of furniture are then meticulously restored by our upholstery artisans. Each creation thus regains its original splendor, combining authenticity and timelessness.
