From Latin nodus, a node is the point where two lines intersect and has multiple meaning in different disciplines – it is a branch in architecture; in mathematics it refers to a point where a curve intersects itself; in botany, a node is the point on a plant stem where a leaf is attached and in physics a node is a point along a standing wave, where the wave has minimal amplitude. For the brand, node is the intersection of ideas, design and culture.
British designed with an international regard, NODE creates stylish, simple, clean line designs inspired by art, architecture, literature and design. Interpreting references from a deep archive of modern and historic materials, products and images, the brand reconstructs concepts to create unique designs,
NODE is a collaboration of individuals who contrast each other, but the points where they connect are what make them a strong and unique team, with shared philosophies around concept, design and craftsmanship.
