About

NM3 believes in modernism as a form of expression. We trust functionalism as problem solving. NM3 deals with form and composition. We believe in ordinary abstractness as a source of infinite possibilities. NM3 wants to extract specificity through the strict ordinary: common elements, average industrial techniques, raw materials.

NM3 operates as a dual entity across product and space.

As a brand, it designs and produces both standardised and custom-made products, while as a consultancy, it provides interior design, creative direction and architectural services, guiding projects from concept to execution through a coherent methodology.

Product

NM3’s products are crafted primarily from stainless steel, embodying a minimalist and functional design philosophy. Each piece is produced with raw, unpolished finishes through precision driven processes like laser cutting and dry assembly, preserving the natural integrity of the material. This approach yields a range of standardised and custom-made products, from stools and tables to consoles and vases, each bringing a refined simplicity suited to diverse spaces.

Process

Our manufacturing starts with uniform sheet metal and uses medium light metalworking techniques such as 2D numerical control cutting, bending presses, threading and inserts. During these processes, subtle surface details such as marks, textures or tonal variations naturally appear, revealing the honesty of untreated materials and precise industrial methods. These marks are not irregularities, but rather the unique result of our production philosophy, where each piece retains the story of its creation. Surfaces exposed during laser cutting can develop natural variations that become part of the product’s character. By embracing these features, we highlight the authenticity of our craftsmanship, transforming raw materials into functional, timeless designs that preserve the essence of their making.

Durability

Responsible material use, ethical production, and lasting durability are our fundamental principles for creating sustainable products. We use recyclable materials and maintain their natural finish, embracing a low-tech ecological approach that prioritises longevity over complexity. By streamlining our supply chain, we eliminate unnecessary steps between design and production, minimising environmental impact while ensuring fair labor practices and full transparency. Our focus on untreated materials reduces additional processing, preserving the integrity of raw elements and enhancing the authenticity of our pieces.Through the elimination of unnecessary complexities in both design and production, NM3 creates modular products that seamlessly adapt to different spaces and individual needs. This versatility ensures that each NM3 piece is not only timeless but built to last for generations.
