Many of our artists are also makers, who painstakingly produce their own creations, combining age-old techniques with a spirit of innovation. An exploration of material is central to much of their work. A number of the gallery’s designers concentrate on exploring the possibilities of just one material — whether it be textile, ceramics, wood, or glass — conjuring up pieces that celebrate the intervention of the human hand. These works are organic and expressive, tactile and textural, unique and original. One material may mimic another: ceramic resembles wood, cardboard looks like clay — shifting perceptions and amplifying the material’s expressive potential.

NM Art & Design has a firm belief that great design is global. We work with both established and upcoming creators from around the world. Rather than being tied to a specific space or location, we take a peripatetic approach, participating in fairs (and organizing pop-up exhibitions) internationally.
