Bringing Malaysian Made Abroad

Bringing Malaysian Finesse Abroad

Nokta Furniture seeks to elevate Malaysia’s furniture prowess and potential worldwide with the help of exquisite designs and local support.

Conceptualized and founded by one Ahmad Suradi Adnan of NSF Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Nokta Furniture was an ambitious project that was proposed to the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB). The idea was to create a unique brand with a high-quality collection of furniture pieces that would be exported to the rest of the world, propelling Malaysia’s status in the international marketplace.

Nokta Furniture thus began with the help of MTIB as a collaborative effort between three companies – NSF Manufacturing, Furnitech Industries and One-Tech Sdn Bhd – as well as brilliant designers from Malaysia and abroad. Truly seeking inspiration worldwide, the team behind Nokta has also travelled to many countries and picked up a global standard and taste along the way.

At Nokta, the focus is design-centric. Pragmatically speaking, it’s difficult for smaller businesses to get into the export market. However, by going with the route of designer furniture, Nokta Furniture is able to compete on a greater arena without requiring excessive machineries to carry out mass production. This heightened focus on design also allows Nokta’s products to have that unique edge that you can’t find elsewhere. After all, the name Nokta derives from the word “noktah,” meaning “full stop.” This relates to the brand’s goal of being the final stop in a person’s quest for quality home furniture.

The Basic Modern design concept at the company is inspired by the team’s explorations in Europe. It takes after a minimalistic Scandinavian style, focusing on functionality and essentialism, but still highlighting the faultless design. With minimalistic styles, the quality of the product and the design actually becomes much more important. Without decorative embellishments to make the final product seem ornate and intricate, mistakes cannot be hidden – the workmanship should be immaculate.

Working with wood for Nokta’s furniture pieces was an obvious choice. The versatility of timber certainly works in favour of Nokta’s design focused vision, and even though there are a lot of new avenues in the market these days in terms of materials, wood will always be a viable and popular option. Furthermore, sustainability can be more steadily achieved by using timber, as it can be harvested responsibly and in an environmental-friendly manner. That said, Nokta also makes use of metal elements, making the furniture pieces even more outstanding and unique.

The team at Nokta is aware, however, that with the modern or contemporary concept they are working with comes the concern of such furniture having a shorter lifespan in the market. As we know, trends tend to come and go, so the idea of modernity or contemporariness is ever-changing. However, with the talented cast of designers under their belt, Nokta will be able to keep up with trends and provide high-quality products with excellent designs at affordable prices. This helps them stay relevant and continue to bring fresh ideas to the market.

Even though Nokta is still in its early stages, it is sure to continue flourishing with the expertise of the well-established companies behind them, namely NSF Manufacturing as well as Furnitech Industries and One-Tech. Bolstered by the talented designers on board and the support of MTIB, Nokta Furniture is definitely a brand to keep your eyes on.
