OUR STORY
The Maison
Founded in 2010, Maison NORKI has established itself as one of the leading names in French luxury interior design and decorative arts.
Its identity is rooted in an exceptional craft: fur craftsmanship, a rare expertise that was honoured in 2023 with France's prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label, awarded by the French State in recognition of outstanding artisanal excellence.
Over the years, the Maison has expanded its expertise into two complementary fields. The first is bespoke craftsmanship, encompassing upholstery, soft furnishings, Lunéville embroidery and custom-made rugs. The second is the creation of exceptional chalet interiors around the world through Studio Chalet, our dedicated interior design studio, where every project is conceived as a unique expression of elegance, comfort and authenticity.
Origins
Maison NORKI was founded in Strasbourg in 2010 by Sonia Linard, who continues to lead the creative vision of the Maison as its Artistic Director.
She was joined by her husband, Thierry, in 2011, and by their son, Louis, in 2019, transforming NORKI into a family-owned Maison where creativity, craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit are passed from one generation to the next.
Today, our workshops are located in Molsheim, along the renowned Alsace Wine Route in eastern France. It is here that every creation is handcrafted and every interior design project is developed, preserving the artisanal gestures, meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising standards that define the identity of Maison NORKI.
THE NORKI FAMILY
It evokes the image of canvas woven with care: each new thread embellishes his work of art over time. Our state of mind: simplicity. A poetic vision of life, where all artistic movements meet luxury.
The Norki’s Melody is enriched with new, vibrant, and unique notes, nourished by diversity; this is how the family is created, like the artistic movements that define luxury.
« Our Maison is Thierry, Louis, and me, but also the whole Norki Family »
Each collaborator, each artisan, each designer, and architect are an essential part of enriching this unique canvas. The uniqueness, passion, and talents of everyone bring a distinctive touch to our Maison, like coloured paint drops forming our work of art, Norki.
