Founded in 2018 by Moritz Stewart (fondly known as Momo), Nomadic Design was born from a deep belief in sustainability and an enduring passion for timber. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials, Momo has earned a reputation for creating exquisite, lasting kitchens and furniture that stand the test of time.

Based in the subtropical Northland region of New Zealand, in Whangārei, Nomadic Design reflects Momo’s journey and values. From a young age, Momo aspired to be a craftsman, training in traditional furniture-making in Southeast Germany, where he graduated with honours. In 2016, he made the life-changing move to New Zealand, captivated by its breathtaking forests, mountains, and oceans. These natural landscapes have become an integral source of inspiration, shaping his designs and work philosophy.

Momo’s approach to cabinet-making is rooted in respecting traditional techniques while embracing sustainable practices that honour the environment. His designs are thoughtfully clean and intentionally durable, showcasing a harmonious balance between functionality and artistry. For Momo, working with wood is more than a skill—it's a form of creative expression. He describes it as a deeply fulfilling practice that demands patience, inviting him to slow down and embrace the challenges of this timeless material.

Through Nomadic Design, Momo continues to craft pieces that celebrate the beauty of natural materials while embodying his commitment to sustainability and quality.
