Nalata Nalata is a contemporary craft and design gallery in New York City founded by Stevenson Aung and Angélique J.V. Chmielewski. The brand began as an online storefront before opening its first physical location in 2014. It focuses on the stories behind the objects and the artisans who create them.
The collection features a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese furnishings, characterized by minimalist and functional design. Nalata Nalata curates pieces with clean lines and natural materials, primarily light woods. They offer handcrafted ceramics, artisanal textiles, and furniture.
The store operates as both a reseller for established Japanese brands and a designer of its own in-house collection. They carry notable makers like Time & Style, Tendo Mokko, and Futagami. This approach connects consumers directly to the makers and their craft.
