About Us

Yes, this is the beautiful Victorian semi-detached house where we began our dreams in Liverpool.

I remember the excitement of moving in, sunlight streaming through tall windows, and creaky floorboards whispering stories. It was here that our passion for design took root and flourished.

FO Design started in Istanbul in 2016. We moved to Liverpool in 2020 and then to Manchester in 2023. Architecture inspired us, and city plans and maps fascinated us. We turned that passion into map-themed travel journals, now our signature product. We wanted to bring the beauty of cityscapes and landscapes into everyday objects, allowing people to carry a piece of their favorite places with them.

Customers personalize notebooks with maps, text, and engravings, making each one unique. We offered customers the chance to select maps of their chosen regions, add custom text, and even engrave names onto their notebooks. Each piece was a reflection of individual journeys and cherished memories.

In 2019, we launched Norrska for map-themed wall art and minimalist decor. In 2019, we launched Norrska, a brand dedicated to map-themed wall decorations and minimalist home products. Just like our notebooks, our wall art carried the essence of place and memory, blending aesthetics with meaningful personal touches.

Liverpool inspired us, but in 2023, we returned to Manchester to grow further. Our return marked a new phase, one filled with greater ambition and an even stronger commitment to craftsmanship.

We use recyclable materials and expert craftsmanship for quality and sustainability. We use recyclable materials, ensuring that our designs not only inspire but also contribute to a cleaner and more livable world. Our focus remains on quality, combining the finest materials with expert craftsmanship. Every product we create is a testament to our dedication, blending beautiful design with lasting durability.

Our journey continues, crafting timeless pieces that connect people to places. And it all began in that beautiful Victorian house in Liverpool, where our dreams first took flight.
