NPMÉ is an independent design house founded as a private initiative by collector and patron
Born from a single question — what if a light switch could be a work of art?
While most people hide their sockets, we believe they should be celebrated, not as technical necessity, but as points of memory and form.
Each NPMÉ object is handcrafted by master artisans using porcelain, brass, glass, ceramic, and wood — applying the same care as in jewelry, watchmaking or sculpture.
Every socket or switch comes with:
+ a certificate of authenticity
+ an edition number (for limited series)
+ and a signature — either of the artisan or of the collaborating designer.
Some of our pieces are created in tribute to legendary designers of the past (Posthumous Editions). Others are developed in active collaboration with today’s most original minds — architects, artists, and studios — from Paris to Seoul.
All NPMÉ collections exist in three families:
Línea Nautique
A tactile symphony of veneer, leather, and brass. An object as if taken from a yacht-class jewelry box, for those who sense luxury at the touch.
Lignée Dorée
Interior icons inspired by imperial light: enamel, medallions, gilding. A collection where luxury resonates as heritage.
Sonnetique
Each socket is like a poetic heart of the wall. Bring your phone close, and a Shakespearean sonnet will echo through the space.
Maestri
Ceramic portraits of great architects. Light, shadow, and line as the philosophy of form.
Cultures Ornamentales
Decorative codes of cultures: from Japanese gardens to Portuguese azulejos. Surfaces where geography comes to life.
Collaborazioni
A subject of dialogue between brands. From Loewe to Lexus, these sockets are like limited editions in fashion, design, and style.
Ceramica Viva
The rhythm of patterns, the pulse of color. Living ceramics inspired by the visual language of traditions.
Sensum
Forms that beckon to be touched. A collection where relief and matte textures speak the language of touch.
Playform
Sockets as art toys, as colorful totems. The joy of form, the play of materials, collectibles with a sense of humor.
Distribution of our collectible lines is not public
Only members of the Z999 Club — a curated circle of 999 design studios and architecture practices selected by NPMÉ — are permitted to present and place our limited editions.
There are no mass markets. No discounts. No compromises. Each piece is an expression of touch, material, and authorship — designed to stand proudly on the wall, not disappear into it.
