We’ll never forget the very first day we got our hot little hands on Nood Co’s concrete basin samples back in 2018. The box of swatches basically lit up as we opened it, and our hearts sang at the array of colours. From that moment, we knew Nood was going to shake up the industry in the best way possible.
A celebration of duality
Proudly handmade in Perth, Australia, Nood pieces are carefully considered and designed with an Italian mindset. Designed by co-owner Matt Di Costa, Nood’s extensive 90-piece collection is underpinned by the duality of its form.
“We took a masculine building material and presented it in its most feminine state, adding curve, form, colour and proportion. We gave our pieces a voice and sense of fun, exercising restraint with the design to allow the material to speak.,” explains Matt. This approach has allowed the team at Nood to create unique concrete basins and furniture suitable for commercial and residential spaces across Australia and the world.
Constructed of 90% Australian-sourced materials, the unique concrete composition, colouring, and sealing system took four years to perfect. Each piece is precisely handcrafted, sealed, and waxed resulting in incredible stain and abrasion resistance you can rely on. Available in 14 bold, playful, and contemporary colours, Nood has proved that their concrete creations are fit for any application and design style.

Just a little bit of TLC required
Before taking the plunge and committing to concrete basins, we find our customers can be a little hesitant when it comes to the maintenance of these products. All Nood concrete pieces are sealed in the highest performing sealers and are designed to withstand staining and scratching. But of course, being a natural material, concrete still requires minor care.

There’s a Nood for everyone
What makes Nood Co special is the versatility they offer through their collection. The basins seriously cater for every application. Whether you’re looking for a standalone pedestal basin, a wall-hung bowl for a small space, or an intriguing pill-shaped basin in teal, Nood has it all.
Continually pushing the boundaries of design and bringing concrete to the forefront, Nood have reshaped the way Australians think and feel about concrete. No longer do we look at it as a brutalist material – both cold and porous. Concrete, in the Nood way, is exciting, soft, and vibrant - full of possibilities.
Every time Nood hints at a new product release, we hold our breaths – much like the first time we opened that sample box. This is exactly what good design is about.
