Nambe: Artistic & Functional Design

Nambe, established in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1953, is a company that is dedicated to design and is recognized worldwide for their artistic practicality. Whether it is Nambe metal, crystal, or wood – each piece is sure to provide style as well as functionality for your tabletop, entertaining, and home decoration needs.

All of Nambe’s metal pieces are made from an eight-metal alloy, the contents of which remain a trade secret. This combination of metals retains hot and cold temperatures for long periods of time, an unusual quality that is ideal for entertaining needs. Additionally, each metal piece can be stored in the freezer and put directly into the oven or onto the grill, then onto the table for serving. Nambe designers also use full-lead crystal to create a variety of pieces, such as candlesticks, photo frames, and stemware. Whether giving it as a gift or using it in your own home, Nambe crystal is sure to provide a stunning statement of beauty and artistic flair. More recently, Nambe added a line of wood serving pieces. Made from acacia wood, chosen for its beautiful grain, these bowls and serving trays provide a natural yet modern design to your table.


Over the years, Nambe has grown and added new lines into their collection, such as flatware sets, barware, and baby items. The collection has become popular amongst brides, and Nambe is a common name seen on today’s bridal registries. Today, Nambe’s designers are adding new materials into the collection, such as copper, granite, and enamel - materials that mix well with the classic alloy, crystal, and wood pieces.

Nambe’s team of designers create pieces of art that are fully functional as tableware. Most of these pieces can be used in a multitude of ways, making Nambe an ideal choice for those seeking pieces that have an artistic edge but also serve a practical purpose.

Every time you use a piece of Nambe, whether it be a salt & pepper set while cooking, or a large platter while entertaining, it’s certain you’ll be reminded of style and design as well as everyday functionality.
