How to Build

Three parts. Endless configurations.

Every NODO build follows the same logic: rods for length, brackets for the joints, and optionally plates or panels for surfaces.

1. Sketch your geometry

Decide the shape. A side table is four legs and a top — that's 4 rods + 4 corner brackets + 1 plate. A wall shelf is two verticals and three horizontals — 5 rods + 6 brackets, no surface needed.

2. Pick rod lengths

Rods come in 100, 200, 300, 500, 750, 1000, and 1500 mm lengths. Pick what fits the room. For a side-table-height build, 500 mm legs are a good starting point.

3. Pick bracket types

  • 2-Way Straight — extend a rod into a longer rod
  • 2-Way Corner (90°) — turn a corner
  • T-Joint — branch a rod off another
  • 3-Way Corner — the corner of a cube
  • 4-Way Cross — flat 4-way intersection
  • 6-Way Cube — fully 3D, all six axes

4. Add a surface (optional)

Wood plates and acrylic panels come pre-drilled at the corners to seat onto 4 vertical rods. Pick a size that matches your bracket spacing.

5. Assemble

Slide rods into bracket bores. Tighten the set-screw with the included hex key. That's it. Take it apart anytime.
