From our great-great-grandfather, Domingos Côto, who represents one of the most powerful artistic expressions in the Minho region and an iconic symbol of Portugal, to our grandparents, David and Teresa, who dedicated their entire lives to working with ceramics. With their skilled hands and passionate hearts, each piece that emerged was unique, full of history and meaning. This love for ceramics was passed down from generation to generation, and the passion for clay and manual work continued.

As the family grew, in the midst of this flowering, two new seeds appeared in the world: Rafael & Telma.

To honor traditions and embrace contemporary aesthetics, we trust in the power and charm of decorative objects, which tell stories and beautify our lives.

Thus, as brothers, we carry our family history with us, transforming clay into expressions of splendor and fascination.

  • Vanguard & Innovation

    We were inspired by the Nabis painters, a group of avant-garde artists who broke the shackles of conventionality at the end of the 19th century. Their bold exploration of new artistic forms and techniques became our guiding light though the world of ceramics. We embrace avant-garde thinking, pushing our creators to constantly experiment with new techniques, materials and designs, ensuring that each nabi creation is a testament to innovation.

  • handmade & sustainable

    At nabi each piece is meticulously created by hand. This artisanal approach promotes a deep respect for the creation process, valuing every detail and imperfection as part of its intrinsic beauty. To improve our commitment to sustainability, at nabi we are constantly looking for improvements to minimize our environmental impact, from the selection of raw materials to packaging.

  • Vibrant & distinctive

    Reflecting on lively painting and ceramics from the Minho region, our pieces are a tableau of vibrant tones that tell a story of their own, honoring the rich artistic legacy of these influences. As each piece is a work of art, we show our commitment to craftsmanship and individuality. We believe that your home should reflect your unique personality, and Nabi ceramics allow you to do just that
