For almost 20 years, NOIR Trading has been creating design-forward home furnishings with one thing in mind—serving the design trade with style and substance. Since teaming up with business partner Stephanie Lu in 2004, Swiss-born co-owner and exclusive designer Georg Bahler has been the creative force behind every piece. With just a pencil and paper, he brings to life a thoughtfully crafted collection of over 1,200 ever-evolving pieces—furniture, lighting, accessories, and wall décor—each one rooted in his unique perspective.
Georg draws inspiration from all over: his European roots, art and furniture history, music, fashion, pop culture, and the wonders of nature. His vision is broad and imaginative, yet always grounded in one goal—to offer the home industry something fresh, distinctive, and truly special.
NOIR is known for their bold use of solid woods and raw materials, their love for designs inspired by standout decades, and their fearless approach to experimenting with new ideas and unexpected materials. Georg’s creative direction is brought to life by talented artisans and trusted factories—carefully chosen for their ability to turn his sketches into exceptional, high-quality pieces.
Their standout designs aim to do more than serve a function—they spark curiosity, stir the imagination, and speak to the universal language of creativity. NOIR continues to craft one-of-a-kind, small-batch furnishings that are built not only to stand out, but to stand the test of time—and perhaps even become the treasured heirlooms of the future.
