Nambé’s passion for good design began in 1951 with the discovery of a proprietary metal alloy. Over the years this passion has become a philosophy: Every piece they handcraft must have an undeniably beautiful structural and artistic integrity, making it a remarkably high-quality, functional item that impassions the beholder.The result is award-winning designs of exceptional craftsmanship and timeless beauty. To create their pieces, the Nambé metal is heated to over 1300 degrees Fahrenheit and then carefully ladled into a handmade sand mold, where it’s cast as one solid piece. Each piece is then shaped, polished, and buffed, passing through the hands of 15 craftsmen. Scientists credit the quality of our Nambé metal, in part, to the high altitude of our foundries. Nambé metal pieces are featured in over 20 museums worldwide. Their modern designs are wonderfully suited for a variety of interiors and settings, from casual to formal. Inspired by nature and designed with passion, Nambé helps you create the lifestyle you seek.
