Nordic Designs was created in 2004 by Swedish born Cecilia Holden. The focus was to wholesale beautiful Scandinavian finds to the Australian gift and homeware stores. In 2006 we complemented the business by opening our own retail store in Wonthaggi, Victoria and added on with an online store in 2008. Since then many things have changed, most of all the market place and the way customers shop. In 2
013 we therefore decided to close the retail store and focus on the original idea of wholesale, but also to keep operating online with a fresh, new online site. Nordic Designs chooses carefully what brands to offer. Quality is absolute key in from the products we supply as well as the service we receive and offer in return. The relationship with our suppliers and the relationship with our customers are very important. Nordic Designs supply to boutiques and interior designers in Australia as well as New Zealand. Nordic Designs aim is to bring Scandinavian flair to you, by offering concepts and brands at affordable prices. Cecilia Holden, Director & Founder
About Cecilia:
I came to Australia in 2002 with my husband and daughter. I have two lovely step-daughters, one of them is Sarah, who will also look after this page. The decision to start Nordic Designs derives from my passion of beautiful things and most importantly, to keep a connection to my home country Sweden. Being so I cannot draw or create anything(!) I found it best to search for other peoples creations and wholesale/retail. My background and formal education is Marketing and Economics. Before I ended up "down under" I worked for various companies in Sweden with marketing. I love Australia, the people, variety of cultures and most of all the weather!
