Nathie Katzoff
Company Founder
Since 2011, Katzoff is the creative force and visionary behind 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.
Prior running NK Woodworking; 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 Nathie Katzoff 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.
His art pieces have been auctioned by Steven Tyler multiple times at his Grammy Gala, represented by a number of galleries and collected by select collectors around the US and internationally.
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.
Our Process
-
We start with ideas - yours and ours. This could be in collaboration with a designer, architect, builder or homeowner.
Wether it’s for a floating staircase, a whole house interior, a sculptural feature piece, or a simple bookshelf, the same process often applies.
-
We develop buildable concepts from our collaboration with you, and create sketches, models, CADS etc, so you can see the vision begin to take form.
-
We make sure everything meets the technical code requirements for the State in which the project is located. This includes structural engineering and sometimes earthquake proofing
-
During the pre-construction phase, we continue planning and strategising to find the best options for your project to achieve your goals. This sometimes requires value engineering or a little creative problem solving by our design team
-
We make our work to the highest standards of quality in our 12,000 sq.ft workshop in Seattle, WA. We build the parts in as large of pieces as possible so the work can be installed quickly and as smoothly as possible.
-
We fabricate all the work in our Shop in Seattle
Then ship and transport the work to your project site
Our expert Fabrication Team travels to the project site to lead the installation. We either take on the whole installation, or we can assist your team.
We ship and install nationwide, and occasionally internationally
