Nambé possesses a certain mystique. Partly it's our very name and our connections to the landscape, culture, and history of our origins. Nambé (pronounced na: member) was christened for a tiny village near Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico where the company was founded in 1951. But there's more to it, this mystique, which makes Nambé the ''lifestyle'' brand valued by people who love simple, elegant designs and love to share them with others. The most distinguishing characteristic of Nambé is that our company is devoted as passionately to form as it is to function. Many early Nambé designs (Tri-Corner and Butterfly bowls, for instance) still sell briskly. This dedication to design defines Nambé. Timeless art you can use every day. Museums added Nambé to their collections and exhibits. For its beauty, quality, and heirloom value, Nambé became a favorite gift, especially for brides. The collection grew and became a world brand. In 1998, we introduced the collection of Nambé full-lead crystal, in 2001, Nambé lighting, and in 2003, Nambé porcelain. Additional collections and other exciting news about Nambé are imminent.

Thanks to the excellent thermal properties of the metal, the thick-walled chiller can be placed in the freezer before use, or in the oven if you plan to serve your sake hot at the table. Embracing a bottle with elegant ease, the smoothly polished holder features a slanted rim, which facilitates pulling out the bottle to pour another glass. Be prepared to settle in, as our Wine Chiller has been known to extend an evening into the night. Designed by: Nambé, 2002.
