Based between Belfast and London, Noble-Turner Design is dedicated to a long-term vision: to explore a contemporary Irish design language rooted in craft, shaped by landscape, and advanced through total design. We create works that endure across time, culture, and scale.
Our Principles
Design at Every Scale
From sculptural objects to immersive interiors, we approach design as a complete discipline. Every scale and detail matters, each decision shaping the overall experience.
Our work is guided by a belief in total design, where form, material, and atmosphere align seamlessly to create a complete and lasting impact.
Design for Connection
Our work seeks more than visual impact - it invites touch, sparks emotion, and triggers meaningful encounters.
By designing for physical and sensory connection, we create spaces and objects that feel grounded, human, and alive; forging a lasting bond between people, their surroundings, and the crafted details that shape them.
Design Beyond Trends
We pursue a timeless studio language shaped not by passing trends, but by tireless curiosity, refinement, and experimentation.
Designing for us means committing to a body of work that endures, whereby each project becomes part of an evolving signature style, distinct yet deeply rooted in authenticity and creative integrity.
Our Process
Creative Discovery
Every project begins with curiosity. Through hand sketches, digital experiments, and rapid iterations, ideas unfold in a spirit of adventure. Exploration keeps the work alive - pushing form, material, and concept into new territory while ensuring imagination remains the driving force behind every design decision.
Rigorous Refinement
Exploration evolves into refinement through meticulous 3D modelling, prototyping, and testing. Each surface, joint, and detail is honed with exacting care until the design achieves clarity. Refinement does not erase character; it distils it, ensuring every project emerges as both a bold concept and enduring reality.
