naco's secret to living

Designed for Everyone. Built Like It’s Just for You.

Why NACO is shifting focus—and how that helps you get great design, faster.

At NACO, we’ve built our reputation on made-to-order furniture crafted with intention, detail, and care. For years, that’s meant working closely with clients to create fully custom pieces — one-offs made to fit a specific space, vision, or dream.

And we still love doing that. We always will.

But over time, we noticed something else:

Not everyone wants (or needs) to start from scratch

Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients — and we’ve noticed a pattern. Many people come to us thinking they need something custom, when what they really need is clarity. They’re not looking to reinvent the wheel — they just want something that works. Beautifully. Intelligently. Seamlessly in their space.

So when we design a new piece of furniture now, we’re not starting from zero.

We’re building on everything we’ve learned:

The most common questions clients ask

The little challenges that slow things down

The technical details that are easy to overlook — but make a big difference

Take skirting boards, for example. Most furniture brands don’t account for them. We do.

Our pieces are designed with the realities of your home in mind — not just the idea of it.

A TV unit? It needs proper cable management, and dimensions that match the most popular screen sizes.

A bookcase should work around wall sockets.

A sideboard should sit comfortably in a tight corner and open fully.

This kind of thinking doesn’t happen overnight.

It comes from years of designing, measuring, building, and refining.

So no, you might not be starting from scratch — but you’re still getting something that’s incredibly considered.

A new focus, same philosophy

We’re expanding our focus — from custom only to something more accessible, but just as intentional.

We’ve developed a growing collection of modular, made-to-order pieces that still reflect what makes NACO… NACO: timeless design, beautiful materials, thoughtful construction. These aren’t mass-produced. Each one is made to order, by hand, in our workshop.

What’s changed is the starting point — not the standard.

It’s not about doing less.

It’s about doing more of what works — for us, and for you.

What this means for you

If you want something custom? You can still have that.

But if you’re ready to buy a piece that’s already been through years of design thinking, problem-solving, and testing — we’ve got that, too.

You’ll still wait a little while. That’s because we still make everything to order.

You’ll still get the same level of craftsmanship and care.

You’ll just get to the “yes” part of the process a little quicker.

The future of NACO

This is an exciting new chapter for us.

We’re growing. We’re reaching more people. And we’re designing smarter — with your real-life needs in mind.

Because good furniture doesn’t have to be complicated.

It just has to feel like it was made for you.
