CAPTIVE - Table Lamp

NAGOT is a product design studio based in Como, founded in 2024 by Mattia Meneghini, a designer working across product and interior design.

(Nagòtt) /naˈgɔt/ nothing, not a thing

The studio's practice rests on a principle as essential as it is uncompromising: the authenticity of materials and forms. Surfaces reveal the making process, not a polished version of it. Joints are intentionally exposed rather than hidden behind applied finish. Every project treats the passage of time as part of its form, a dimension to integrate rather than a defect to conceal. The object carries the history of its making.

The creative process draws from the surrounding architecture, from the formal rigour and geometric purity of Como and Milanese Rationalism. That structural economy is not historical citation. It is active method: the same discipline that produced 20th-century Lombard architecture informs how the studio resolves a table joint or a shelf bracket. Each collection results from sustained research into form, refined through close collaboration with master craftsmen from the Como region and throughout Italy who work in solid wood, raw metal, and structural joinery.

NAGOT's work is available on Monde Singulier alongside other Italian design studios committed to handcrafted objects built for the long term.
