Nude
Nude is a contemporary design brand founded in Istanbul in 2014 by the Şişecam Group, one of the world’s leading glass manufacturers with a history dating back to 1935. The brand is built on the philosophy “Simple is Beautiful,” where refined design, functionality, and the natural beauty of materials define every collection.
With its roots in Istanbul; a city where centuries of trade and craftsmanship intersect with modern creativity, Nude reflects a design culture where historical heritage meets contemporary expression.
Design is at the heart of everything Nude creates. The collections are developed in close collaboration with internationally acclaimed designers and artists, resulting in a consistently innovative and dynamic aesthetic. Nude describes itself as bold, individualistic, and boundary-breaking; qualities clearly reflected in its sculptural, technically driven, and visually refined glass objects.
Craftsmanship is a central part of Nude’s identity. More than 350 master glassblowers contribute to the brand’s production, and a significant portion of the assortment is still made entirely by hand in pure, lead-free crystalline glass. This premium material is known for its exceptional clarity, strength, and the ability to create ultra-thin yet durable silhouettes. The mineral composition of crystalline glass enhances resonance and light refraction, amplifying the colors, aromas, and textures of wine, champagne, and spirits.
Nude approaches design through an architectural lens: the objects we surround ourselves with shape our environments, our experiences, and the way we live. The brand therefore creates glassware, carafes, and interior accessories that are not only functional but also elevate the atmosphere and contribute to a considered aesthetic whole.
With a strong modern identity, deep material expertise, and an 85-year heritage, Nude has established itself as a globally respected design name. Their glassware is not merely utilitarian, it represents contemporary craftsmanship, architectural sensitivity, and a clear guiding philosophy: simplicity is beauty.
