About Us
Nordic Style, established in 1991 in Chelsea, London, has long been a pioneer in bringing the ‘Nordic Light’ into traditionally dark London homes. Initially, Nordic Style gained prominence by offering a range of painted bedroom and dining room furniture collections, complemented by its own line of fabrics, paints and accessories. It is well renowned for that for nearly two decades, it stood as a leading brand, delivering products nationwide from its base in the historic Gas Works in Chelsea.
Mark Essex acquired the Nordic Style brand in 2012 and as the market evolved and competitors began replicating its products, he adapted the business to specialise in producing furniture crafted from reclaimed timber. Under his leadership, and significant investment, the business expanded by opening six shops in London and launched ‘Nordic Style London’ a Mail Order, ecommerce business to compliment his bricks and mortar shops.
Nordic Style London operates its own stunning Retail Shop selling in Guildford in Surrey, located in the Tungstate Design Quarter, and the shop sells our full range of furniture, soft furnishings, lighting, and full range of complementary home accessories.
We also have a large Showroom in Esher in Surrey, where we run our Mail Order Business from, and we have on display all our UK Made Beds, Sofas and Chairs along with all the fabrics that we offer. This Showroom sells to the public and also deals with all Interior Designers who use and specify our products for projects they are working on and we manufacture for them and deliver direct to site.
Nordic Style Wholesale is a separate operation and sells home accessories, cushions, soft furnishings, and smaller furniture items that we make to Large Multiple Retailers and Garden Centres. This B to B business sells in volume to large retailers who wish to sell on our products to the end user. The wholesale business does not sell individual items, but sells in volume to a large overall order value.
Proudly family-owned and operated, Nordic Style embodies the ethos of being “small enough to care, but large enough to cope”.
