NAO



Nao produces a natural and elegant collection of hand-made porcelain figures that are perfect for that extra-special gift.

Nao's aim is to offer a collection of porcelain figures with characteristic warmth, which are the gift or decoration choice for a great many homes all over the world.

Thus, since 1968, Nao has offered a collection of natural hand-made figures that stand out for the perfection of their finish, for the purity of their form and the grace and expressiveness of their design.

Nao is part of the Lladró Group.  
                                                                                  


Expert hands and great artistic talent is required to translate moments from life into the beautiful figures that make up the Nao collection. This is why Nao porcelains are produced by veteran craftsmen in the company's own local workshops in Chirivella, near Valencia, in Spain

The figurines are the product of the perfect combination of artisan craftsmanship and cutting edge techniques in the manufacture of porcelain that allow us satisfy the current and future followers of the brand in 122 countries of the world. The Nao collection is made up of around two hundred figures, and it is constantly renewed as each year some pieces are withdrawn and new issues are added.



This is a very interesting issue that demonstrates the philosophy behind the creation of our figures. In Nao we try to illustrate the unforgettable memories of our lives. For this reason the Nao themes take in all the phases of a person's experience: from childhood games through to spirituality, from the merry jokes of clowns to religiously inspired images, from first moments of falling in love to scenes of family life.

Nao's entire creativity revolves around this journey through the human living experience.



Does the name NAO and the ship symbol have any significance?



Absolutely: A Nao is an old sailing ship from the time of Columbus, and our brand logo shows this Nao on what we would like to think is a homeward journey, loaded with the rare spices of creativity, skill and magic.

Judge for yourself if the voyage was of merit.
