Nathie Katzoff

Company Founder

Katzoff is the creative force and visionary behind NK Art & Design, a studio/workshop renowned for its bold, boundary-pushing work. With an exceptional eye for detail and an innate ability to transform ideas into stunning visual realities, Katzoff has established himself as a truly gifted designer and artist in his field.

Rooted in a background in boat building, Katzoff developed a deep understanding of materials, structure, and craftsmanship from an early age, skills that continue to inform and enrich every creative endeavour he undertakes. This hands-on heritage gave him an instinctive appreciation for the relationship between form and function, one that flows through all of his work.

At the heart of NK Art & Design, Katzoff brings a rare combination of artistic intuition and technical mastery. But his talents extend far beyond the NK design studio. He is also a prolific artist working across a diverse range of media, including cast and fused glass, wood, and metals. His work in these materials is bold and tactile, reflecting a lifelong love of working with his hands and a profound respect for the nature of each medium.

Whether pushing the boundaries of stair design or creating striking works in glass, wood, and metal, Katzoff continues to inspire and captivate, cementing NK Art & Design as a name synonymous with creativity, ambition, and artistry.

His work is installed all over the USA, Hawaii, and Grand Cayman Islands.
