NAMBÉ TEMPO Award

Nambé Tempo was named for its visual allusions to music. Two curving rings create a striking appearance of rhythmic movement with their highly-polished, gleaming surfaces. The rings mirror one another, creating a harmonious flow – and are thus, “in tempo.” Tempo is precision-machined from large blocks of pure, aerospace-grade aluminum. Machining aluminum is an expensive and time-consuming method of craftsmanship. The process is typically reserved for very limited production, but the results are exceptional. It was only fitting that this world’s-first trophy collection should include a piece crafted in this fashion. Tempo is not electroplated as are most metal awards. Instead, the raw surface is hand-polished to allow the aluminum to show its unique and alluring character. The material polishes beautifully by this method and appears almost molten. The final effect is both industrial and ethereal. Each Tempo is individually-numbered as part of a limited release and arrives in custom silver gift packaging, exclusive to the Nambé + Society Awards collection.
