JDD | Joint Design Direction

With workspaces being open plan and privacy at a premium, solutions were needed to bring a sense of solitude and silence back to the office. 2011 saw the rise of Norah - a single-seat sofa den designed and created to provide a quiet space for individual working. Born by a hungry JDD Furniture, they wanted the world to see that commercial furniture didn't have to be boring but could be stylish and functional, ditching the traditional materials and adopting softer, more welcoming options.

Norah, created as "a secluded space for a silent moment," stood out thanks to her unique styling. Angled high walls added privacy while reducing external acoustic noise. An upholstered frame finished in contrasting fabrics, and thick plush cushioning provided a comfortable seat that was welcoming to anyone approaching.

Fast-forward to 2025, and Nora is back! We've dropped the H and given her a facelift, but we haven't compromised or sacrificed her fundamentals or the quality and luxury we are renowned for. We have tweaked her styling, replaced the foam, and added new options. Historically only available as a convertible, a hard-top version is now an option, providing a roofed option for extra privacy.

Still true to her roots as a secluded space for a silent moment, Nora continues to offer the same sense of privacy, comfort, and quiet focus—now with even more ways to make solitude stylish.

Bea has a wide range of standard customisations you can choose from to ensure she is as dynamic as your workspace. Let's take a look at the variations and how they help you:

Sizes: Choose from a one seat workbook for individual work through to two, four, or six seat meeting pods better suited for meetings and collaborative work.

Floor: Bea has floor options with and without, depending on the environment.

Glass doors: These provide a fully enclosed pod, maintaining privacy and reducing environmental noise while utilising natural light and making the interior space feel much larger. Glass manifestations allow you to brand or customise the look and feel of the glass doors.

Back wall options: Fully upholstered back walls give the ultimate privacy and can also divide an open-plan workspace. Half-back walls maintain privacy by obstructing the field of vision while allowing more natural airflow and lighting. Glass back walls are great for when you want to provide the best natural lighting while dampening external noise. An open-sided option is perfect to encourage collaboration when stylish seating is needed or when you want to have Bea situated by an existing window.

Adaptive lighting and ventilation: To match your exact requirements, adjustable lights and fans allow you to customise your experience, ensuring you are comfortable at all times.

Power: Add power to increase Bea's functionality. UK and EU sockets, USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI ports are all available (to name a few).

Tables: We have a table solution for any configuration you choose. Whether tapered, square, freestanding, or mounted, a desk space is a must.
