No•vel¹ is a design studio devoted to the art of making. We believe great design takes time: it's layered, considered, grounded in the way people live.

Our team draws from evolving innovations in lighting design, materials and creative building solutions. Every project starts with a conversation, not a concept. We approach every space as an opportunity, every client as a collaborator, and every design as a dialogue between vision and reality. No shortcuts, no off-the-shelf solutions, just thoughtful, enduring design.

No•vel¹ was founded in 2000 in Tiburon, California. Our work travels from California to wherever craft and collaboration call.
