Nygma line was born from a desire and strategy to maintain and introduce new technologies into products that are traditionally steeped in history. With the ongoing shift in people's behavior, driven by the rise of streaming and social media playing an essential role in everyday life, we see a growing trend towards a more urban, globally connected lifestyle. In this environment, the greatest desire is to gather with good music, delicious food, and great company. Nygma aims to be present with this audience, individuals who radiate a youthful energy, are typically serious and modern, and prioritize their values and opinions.
Nygma’s core concept stems from these qualities, focusing on minimalist aesthetics that transform everyday kitchen tools into functional and stylish decor pieces and no longer just items hidden away in drawers.
In addition to an aesthetic aligned with the connected lifestyle of today’s people, the knives offer enhanced user experience. With ergonomic handles designed for a superior grip, and black-finished stainless steel blades that undergo a special thermal treatment, the knives boast exceptional durability. The handles are made from non-toxic materials with antimicrobial protection to prevent bacteria and fungi growth, ensuring safety and longevity. The knives also offer superior glide capacity, making cutting smoother and requiring less effort. Although the Nygma line does not offer an extensive set, featuring a select range of up to six knives, it delivers the essentials in style and performance, standing out at the top of its class.
In keeping with the brand’s vision of staying connected to the present through style and innovation, Nygma takes a significant step forward in both industry and branding, by combining smart technology with functionality to create a support connected to the new lifestyle. Made with biodegradable thermoplastic using 3D printing, it offers design flexibility, the ability to change and improve with minimal investment, and on-demand sales.
To complete the experience, the support also includes a speaker, tying the entire concept of connectivity together, allowing users to gather, enjoy great music, and savor good food in an environment that’s not only modern and stylish but also vibrant and inspiring.
