We Design Spaces That
Help You Perform Better

Doug Norby harbored a lifelong ambition to establish and operate his own family-owned business. With this dream in mind, he founded Norby’s Office Services in 1981, initially focusing on selling essential office supplies like paper, pencils, pens, and typewriters. 

A Pivotal Moment

In 1984, Art Greenberg, who was in the process of launching a substantial real estate agency named Greenberg Realty, entered Doug’s office with a transformative insight. Art predicted the obsolescence of typewriters and traditional supplies, encouraging Doug to explore the burgeoning field of office design and furnishings. Inspired by his friend and mentor’s vision, Doug embraced this new direction. Art also persuaded Sandy Norby, Doug’s wife, to delve into interior design and craft the office space for Greenberg Realty. Despite lacking formal experience, Sandy rapidly acquired the necessary skills through self-teaching and went on to lead Norby’s design department for the next 40 years as co-owner alongside Doug. 

The Haworth Partnership

A significant milestone in Norby’s history occurred in 1993 with the formation of an extraordinary partnership with Haworth. As an authorized dealer, Norby’s benefited from Haworth’s dedication to high-quality furniture solutions and innovative design concepts, which perfectly aligned with Norby’s own principles. This collaboration has been instrumental in the dealership’s success over the past three decades. 

Evolution and Commitment

Today, Norby’s has transformed into a comprehensive solution provider for all office interiors. Their offerings range from ergonomic office chairs to fully integrated smart buildings equipped with modular walls, access floors, and adaptable furniture. As the company continues to evolve, Norby’s remains steadfast in their commitment to adapting to the latest trends in commercial interior design while maintaining a dedication to customer satisfaction. They pride themselves on delivering quality office products and exceptional service at competitive prices. 

A Bright Future

In 2023, Doug and Sandy Norby retired, entrusting the business to their son, Matt Norby, ushering Norby’s into its second generation of family leadership. With the enduring partnership with Haworth and a rapidly expanding brand, the future looks promising for Norby’s to continue meeting the needs of their customers for many years to come.
