Nambé Studio Cast Aluminum Salt & Pepper Shakers & Candlestick, c.1995–2001
A sculptural three-piece grouping in polished cast aluminum from Nambé Studio, comprising a matched salt and pepper shaker pair alongside a taller candlestick of complementary form. The shakers carry the swelling, bottle-curved silhouette that defined Nambé's tableware language of the period, each topped with a removable disc closure. The candlestick rises in an hourglass profile, narrowing through a pinched waist before flaring to a tapered cylindrical cup. The shaker bases are marked Nambé Studio #6089 ©1995; the candlestick base is marked Nambé #6217 ©2001.
Founded in 1951 outside Santa Fe, Nambé built its reputation on a proprietary eight-metal alloy, later expanding into cast aluminum and other media under collaborations with designers including Karim Rashid and Lino Tagliapietra. The Studio line carried more sculptural, gallery-oriented forms than the standard production catalog. The reflective surfaces of all three pieces read as much as small sculpture as functional tableware.
CONDITION
