Our Story

Chris and Toby began working on a range of self-stabilising table base prototypes in their Dunsborough workshop in 2009, filing their first patent in 2010. Up to 2016, NOROCK was purely a technical company interested in product design, engineering, IP and manufacturing. But it was time to sell the product – enter Claire Spalding, CEO + Chair, who with her love for interiors and background in marketing, helped develop the NOROCK brand and introduce it to the hospitality industry worldwide. With our expanded team around the world, we’re excited to work with our network of distributors and reps to say NO to wobbles, spills, time-wasting, problematic parts, with NO compromise on design – in restaurants, cafes, bars, aged care, and offices.

From the cobblestone streets of Europe to the poured concrete sidewalks in America, from the wooden decks in Japan to the brick-paved beer gardens in the UK… to our home country, Australia and its uneven laneways. NOROCK can be found worldwide, and with its simple self-stabilising mechanism and award-winning design, anything else is a compromise.

NOROCK self-stabilising table bases were born and bred in Australia, so we were excited back in early 2021 to land stock in Sydney, shipping directly from our warehouse throughout the country.

We have incredible furniture distributors all over Australia who would love to talk to any and all interior designers, architects, restaurant owners, commercial offices and more about specifying our self-stabilising table bases for your projects.
