Nack was created
from the passion of two architecture school students in 2011. Then we wanted to make anything and everything - outdoor site furniture, multi-story art installations, and architectural competitions.
Today, Nack is a product studio that focuses on home and office goods that focus on simplicity and problem-solving.
Timeline
UNL Arch
Nicholas and Justin met in architecture school at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. After a few projects (beers) we realized we could do more than poche wall-sections together.
Starter Project
In October of 2011 we introduced the Prop laptop stand and were successfully funded (thanks to 606 Kickstarter friends ) on Kickstarter. We raised $21,597 and started making Props.
Founded
MAKE launches as a way for a group of students to aspire larger than their academic standing allowed. At the time, this was more of a creative release than a full-time commitment.
The Paper Business
In December of 2011 we launched the Vertical calendar. What started as a personal project quickly turned into a fan favorite, being featured on FAB, Uncrate and Touch of Modern.
Food Miles
The banner displays a portion of the 2005 Nebraska Land Use Map’s analysis (represented by circles). Four percent of the circles are highlighted to graphically display this outrageous comparison.
Weekly, Weekly
2013 – One day at a time. The Week Plan lets you get down and dirty with your work days. With plenty of room for activities, we’ve designed a ‘planner’ that is really as simple as it looks. No months, just individual days.
Nack Studio
November 2015 we changed our name to Nack Studio. Same people, same products, better name!
Portland
September 2016, Nack HQ moved to Portland, Oregon.
Portland CNC
Inadvertently, in 2017, a side-business was formed to utilize a new CNC router for our products.
