New Format Studio

New Format Studio True to its namesake, New Format is a multi-faceted design studio and workshop existing at the intersection of design and fabrication.

Its team of designers and fabricators are motivated to produce exceptional objects and spaces. The studio was founded by Henry Norris in 2016. A self-taught designer and craftsperson with a wide range of background influence and experience, Henry resolved to create a studio practice of new composition where design and experimentation holds balance with output and commerce. A place where the work i

s thoughtfully designed, created by human hands and built to last. Whether in collaboration with industry peers, commissioned by patrons or through self-initiated experimentation in process and finish, New Format seeks to instill each of its designs with an arresting sense of physical presence, refined detailing, textural complexity and a touch of magical beauty. Working from Vancouver, Canada the studio engages with a range of clientele and collaborators both locally and internationally. Since launching, New Format has exhibited at ICFF, Architectural Digest Design Show (NYC, USA), IDSwest (Vancouver, Canada), Sight Unseen (NYC, USA), and FIELD TRIP (Vancouver, Canada).

Outdoor galvanized steel kitchen with wood storage and just a few hidden integrations - designed by Edward Ozimek for a residential project in the Gulf Islands. The galvanizing is settling in very nicely after a few years outside. Congratulations Edward on your Western Living 25 award for this beautiful project!

The Plano handles are hand carved from solid bronze, and we’ve stayed that way (over, say, CNC) for every Plano we’ve ever made. This way opening the cabinet is a little moment where whoever does it is physically connected to all the energy and craftsmanship that goes into making a piece of furniture like this. Not everyone will know it by looking at them, but I believe the feeling is felt and that’s the most important thing when making a piece, is the feeling that it brings.
