from first conversation to lasting experience
nuuma creates refined modern kitchens, wardrobes and components for private clients, architects and interior designers across South Africa and selected african markets. our calm, structured process guides each project from design and technical resolution to manufacturing, installation and handover, resulting in a kitchen or interior space carefully resolved around the architecture, materials and way the home is lived in.

01 | initial enquiry
the process begins with a conversation. we establish the location of the project, the stage of the build or renovation, the client’s requirements, the design direction and whether an architect or interior designer is involved.
client outcome: a clear starting point for the project.

02 | showroom consultation
clients are invited to the nuuma showroom in bryanston, johannesburg, where they can experience the n10, n30, n50 and n90 ranges, material palettes, cabinetry details, wardrobes and components in a fully realised environment.
client outcome: a better understanding of the nuuma language, ranges and material possibilities.

03 | design brief
we define how the kitchen needs to function within the home. this includes lifestyle, storage, appliance requirements, cooking habits, entertaining needs, architectural context and the desired atmosphere of the space.
client outcome: a refined brief that guides the design direction.

04 | spatial planning
the kitchen layout is developed in relation to the architecture of the home. we consider circulation, working zones, island proportions, storage, connection to dining and living areas, and the overall rhythm of the space.
client outcome: a considered kitchen layout that supports both function and feeling.

05 | range and material selection
the appropriate nuuma range is selected or adapted. materials, finishes, tones, countertops, cabinetry details and feature elements are explored to create a kitchen that feels personal while remaining aligned with the nuuma design language.
client outcome: a clear material and range direction.

06 | design development and visualisation
the design is developed in greater detail through drawings and visualisations. this allows the client and professional team to understand the proportions, materials, layout and spatial experience before the project moves into technical resolution.
client outcome: a resolved design direction before manufacturing begins.

07 | technical detailing
every cabinet, junction, appliance integration, drawer system, countertop detail and interface with the building is technically developed. this stage ensures that the design can be manufactured, installed and used with confidence.
client outcome: a technically resolved kitchen ready for production.

08 | manufacturing
nuuma is supported by ordegroup’s design and manufacturing expertise. this allows the approved design to move into production with an understanding of material performance, detailing, quality and project delivery.
client outcome: a kitchen manufactured with precision and consistency.

09 | installation and site coordination
installation is coordinated with the project programme and site conditions. the nuuma team works to ensure that the completed kitchen is installed in line with the design intent and the technical requirements of the space.
client outcome: a completed kitchen installed with care.

10 | handover and aftercare
Once installed, each nuuma kitchen is reviewed and formally handed over. Our standard 7-year product and workmanship guarantee is provided, together with an exclusive service call programme that supports the kitchen throughout its lifespan, ensuring it continues to perform and age with quiet confidence.
client outcome: a refined kitchen ready for daily living.
