Wearable Architecture by Nohma Design

Nohma Kaaki and her Wearable Architectures

As the founder of Nohma Design, Nohma Kaaki moves between disciplines not to blur them, but to deepen their language.

Trained as an architect and shaped by the influence of figures like Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, and Moshe Safdie, Nohma creates objects that hold both clarity and mystery. Her design philosophy rests in the unseen — “the most thoughtful details,” she says, “are the ones you don’t see.”

At the centre of Nohma Design is the idea of wearable architecture. Her jewelry collections — including the award-winning Celestial Module, a multi-use piece that reimagines how jewelry is worn and transformed — are sculptural, modular, and poetic.

Through her practices, Nohma Kaaki returns to a central belief: that beauty, when built with compassion and intelligence, becomes a way of offering care — to the self, and to the world. In her words: “May you all nurture yourselves so that you can share more with others.”
