Norva puts its creative signature in every van — with custom Formica Envision™ laminate

Specializing in transforming Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans into high-end, self-contained adventure vehicles — custom-built or production models — the Rivière-du-Loup company has been redefining mobile living since 2017. Their latest creative challenge: designing a signature table that could reflect the brand's identity while adapting to the varied interior styles of their vans.

To bring this project to life, Norva chose Formica Envision™ custom laminate — a solution that allowed the pattern created by the company's graphic designer to be faithfully reproduced on the finished tables. The result: a durable, easy-care surface with a design that is entirely their own.

“The Formica team made the whole process straightforward — starting with a small initial production run so we could test and refine our ideas before scaling up,” explains Martin Gagnon, President and Project Manager at Norva. “Formica Envision™ products truly allowed us to develop and deliver a custom project unlike anything else out there.”

Quebec-made also mattered: the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu plant was a deciding factor for a company that considers local sourcing essential. Sustainability runs through every Norva project as well — FSC®-certified wood, recycled insulation — a commitment that aligns innovation with environmental responsibility.

Working hand-in-hand with the Formica Canada team, and drawing on the versatility of Formica Envision™, Norva got exactly what they set out to create — something that brings together aesthetics, functionality and a design identity that is genuinely their own. The custom table is proof of what becomes possible when creativity, the right materials and close collaboration transform an original idea into something tangible, beautiful and entirely one of a kind. That spirit of innovation is what drives everything Norva does.
