NAVE is a design project founded in 2024 and based in Quito, Ecuador, focused on the continuous exploration of metal. Its first collection, NAV001, investigates the plastic and geometric properties of this material through precise hand-cutting, folding, and bending techniques to create furniture, objects, and architectural elements. The objects, in conjunction with their functionality, are simply the result of a geometric manipulation of metal, where form and purpose emerge from the material itself. This approach highlights the raw expression of the process, balancing sculptural value, production efficiency, and practicality. NAVE’s ongoing experimentation reflects a deep commitment to material honesty and refined craftsmanship.
