NOA Living NOA Living brings together contemporary design, hand-knotted carpets, fine furniture and cultural heritage. Preserving the past. Designing for the future.

Creating responsible luxury. NOA Living is a contemporary design and cultural enterprise dedicated to creating enduring interiors, objects and experiences. Our work brings together original hand-knotted carpets, fine furniture, cultural collections, historic preservation and responsible production. At our headquarters in the historic Lakeside Textile Mill in Burlington, North Carolina, we are bringing design, craftsmanship, cultural heritage and material innovation together under one roof. Our collections encompass contemporary and traditional carpets, fine furniture, African art, textiles, sculpture and pottery. Each reflects our belief that objects carry the knowledge, creativity and cultural memory of the people who make them. Working with international ateliers in India, Liberia, Nepal and Beirut, we develop original designs and restore objects with respect for their materials, craftsmanship and cultural origins. As we rehabilitate Lakeside Mill, we are also developing circular-production initiatives that explore how recovered textiles and other materials can be transformed into useful, enduring products. Our approach extends beyond individual objects to residential, commercial and hospitality environments where contemporary design and cultural heritage can coexist. We believe beauty carries responsibility: to craftsmanship, to cultural heritage, to materials, to the environment and to future generations. NOA Living — Preserving the past.

Eight objects. Three continents. One corner of The Mill.

A century-old mother-of-pearl chest anchors it all. On top sit a Makonde water vessel from Mozambique, engraved by hand with zigzag and braided bands, and a Yoruba beaded hat whose stacked faces are worked entirely in glass beads.

Around them: our hand-knotted carpets Bagua and Hashi in Prism, Tangle III and IV from our fine art collection, a grasshopper-green FUFU stool and the Bluma armchair by Egoitaliano.

Swipe to meet each piece. Every one is in our Burlington showroom and available now.

Save this for your next room, or send us a DM with the word VISIT to book a private viewing.

Preserving what time has made beautiful.

Repointing the original brickwork at the entrance to NOA Living's home inside the historic Lakeside Textile Mill.

We are not trying to erase the age of the building. We are preserving the material, craftsmanship and history that give it character.

Old materials. Skilled hands. A new chapter.

A NOA Living classic, Ripple’s unique succession of color variations create a rhythmic, yet calming vibe. Its long, angular shapes imply a pattern that expands beyond the boundaries of the rug and reference traditional African designs, with a graphic, modern twist. Drop by our Raleigh showroom to see this and other gorgeous rugs, hand knotted in pure New Zealand wool and mulberry silk. Link in bio.

Behold the classic cast bronze leopard, by the Edo People of Benin! In Edo, as in many other cultures, the leopard is conceptualized as an icon of courage, strength and perseverance. By tradition, if a young boy desires to be king someday, he must hunt and kill such an animal to prove his future leadership skills. Once he achieves this rite of passage, fellow Edo People reward the boy with a statue such as this. As hunting these beasts has been long forbidden in this region, these leopard statues are now retained as decorative pieces by the wealthy within Edo society. Placed near an entrance, this powerful guardian is guaranteed to protect your home from evil spirits and other unwelcome guests!
