Interview with NAUBLÉ – The Gold Manufactory

How was NAUBLÉ founded, and what inspired you to specialize in gold art?

How do we preserve what matters when everything eventually fades? How can we make memories, photographs, emotions, and personal moments remain forever? Can we challenge time itself?

That was the question that gave birth to NAUBLÉ.

Emotions, steel, and gold. Gold as a symbol of permanence, value, and immortality, a substance that has always carried the idea of something eternal. Stainless steel, represents strength, precision and endurance. It forms the foundation upon which each creation transcends time.

By combining personal imagery, emotional significance, stainless steel and 24-karat gold, NAUBLÉ transforms meaningful moments into monumental creations designed to endure across generations.

Gold has fascinated people for thousands of years. What makes it such a unique and powerful material for artistic expression?

Across cultures and centuries, gold became a symbol of significance, achievement and the pursuit of something greater than ourselves.

Its rarity, beauty and enduring nature have shaped how humanity perceives value for thousands of years.

There is something almost mystical about its relationship with light. Gold does not simply reflect light; it transforms it, creating a presence that immediately captures attention and evokes emotion.

At NAUBLÉ, gold is the final seal that completes each creation, connecting personal stories with one of the most enduring symbols ever known to mankind.

Can you walk us through the process of creating one of your gold artworks—from the initial idea to the finished masterpiece?

Every NAUBLÉ creation begins with a personal motif, whether a photograph, a memory, a loved one or a meaningful life moment.

Once the concept is defined, the motif is prepared and deeply engraved into high-purity stainless steel. Through a combination of traditional craftsmanship and precision technology, millions of micro-points reproduce every detail with exceptional depth and clarity.

Each piece is individually handcrafted by master craftsmen and produced as a one-of-one bespoke creation.

The surface is then refined through hand polishing and micro-dosed glass bead matting, creating the distinctive balance between mirror-like reflections and satin finishes.

As the final stage, the entire artwork is sealed in multiple immersion baths of 24-karat fine gold. Clients may further personalize their piece with bespoke frames, diamonds or cut crystals.

The complete process can take up to three months, resulting in a monumental masterpiece designed to endure across generations.

How do you balance traditional craftsmanship with modern design and innovation in your work?

Craftsmanship and innovation are two parts of the same story.

The philosophy behind NAUBLÉ is rooted to permanence, significance and the desire to preserve what matters.

What is modern is the way we bring that vision to life.

We combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary engineering, precision manufacturing and proprietary production techniques. Every piece is individually handcrafted, while technology allows us to achieve exceptional levels of detail, consistency and scale.

The balance comes naturally: craftsmanship gives each creation its character, while innovation expands what is possible.

In many ways, NAUBLÉ stands at the meeting point of tradition and technology.

What message or emotion do you hope people experience when they see or own one of your gold creations?

To hold a NAUBLÉ piece is to hold a fragment of eternity.

The way light interacts with the gold creates a presence that transforms the space around it. There is a depth, an energy and a sense of permanence that immediately captures attention.

The level of detail invites contemplation. The longer you observe it, the more it reveals.

For the owner, the connection goes even deeper. Every piece carries a personal story, memory or achievement, creating an invisible bond between the artwork and the person it represents.

It is a feeling that goes beyond the physical object itself and remains long after the first impression.

Is there a particular project or artwork that has had a special impact on you or your company? If so, why?

Due to the unique nature of our work, every NAUBLÉ creation is special.

Each piece carries its own story, its own meaning and its own emotional significance.

What has impacted us the most has always been the reaction of the people who receive them.

There is a unique moment when someone sees a memory, an achievement or a personal story transformed into a monumental creation designed to last forever.

Knowing that we are delivering something that will remain with them, their families and future generations is the most meaningful part of what we do.

Those moments continue to inspire NAUBLÉ more than any individual artwork ever could.

What are some of the biggest challenges when working with precious materials like gold, and how do you overcome them?

Purity and precision are at the heart of everything we do.

Gold leaves no room for compromise. Every detail is visible, and every stage of the process must meet the highest standards.

Each NAUBLÉ piece involves months of meticulous craftsmanship, precision manufacturing and manual finishing.

Working with 24-karat gold requires patience, experience and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

Gold rewards precision. The more care invested in the process, the more timeless the final creation becomes.

How do you see the future of gold art evolving, and what exciting projects can we expect from NAUBLÉ in the coming years?

The future of gold art lies in personalization.

People increasingly seek creations that reflect their identity, achievements, memories and life stories. The most meaningful works of the future will be deeply personal.

That is where NAUBLÉ is positioned.

Right now our focus is international expansion, with Dubai playing a central role in our business plan.

We are actively working towards the creation of our first flagship gallery. The NAUBLÉ Gold House in Dubai, a destination dedicated to our creations, philosophy and collectors.

Alongside this, we are developing new collaborations, larger-scale masterpieces and new ways of bringing bespoke gold creations to clients around the world.

After more than ten years of development, NAUBLÉ is now entering its next chapter.

If you could create a gold artwork for any historical figure, celebrity, or world leader, who would it be and why?

I would choose someone whose actions changed the course of history.

What fascinates me is impact.

Whether it was a visionary leader, an explorer, an inventor, an artist or a builder of civilizations, these are individuals whose influence continues long after their lifetime.

They transformed ideas into reality and left a mark that still shapes the world today.

A NAUBLÉ creation dedicated to such a person would celebrate the power of vision, achievement and lasting influence.
