Noma’s Original Dining Room Is up for Auction This Week
Skift Take
Why settle for a restaurant’s coffee table book when you can have its coffee table?
If the thought of experiencing Noma’s Danish farmhouse aesthetic is just as exciting as eating the food, or would have been if you didn’t make it to the original location before it closed at the end of last year, your next best option could be to add a piece of the restaurant to your home.
With help from Wright auction house in Chicago, much of the original Noma’s furniture and fixtures will be up for grabs — for the right price — this week. About 500 lots of midcentury and contemporary furniture and design objects will be available through a live, and livestreamed, auction on November 2, including pieces by Scandinavian designers like Nina Nørgaard, Aage and Kasper Würtz, Space Copenhagen, Hans Wegner, JL Møller, and Københavns Møbelsnedkeri. Prices for these items, all of which called Noma their home at some point from its 2003 opening onward, will range from $100 to $30,000, depending on whether you’re looking at, say, an apron, a stuffed bird, a dining table, or a sculptural installation.
