Overview
Nambe designs and sells museum-quality home décor, dinnerware, and gift items. Its hallmark is a signature eight-metal alloy that blends the luster of silver with the durability of iron, used to create functional art pieces and serveware. Originating from a foundry in Nambé, New Mexico, the company grew under family ownership and later expanded to include crystal, wood, and stainless steel, earning placements in major museum collections. In 2019 Nambe was acquired by Portmeirion Group and today operates as a Santa Fe–based subsidiary focused on blending timeless design with practical function for modern homes.
