About Nuage Designs

For over two decades, Nuage Designs has set the standard for couture linens and luxury event rentals — trusted by the world’s top event planners, Fortune 500 companies, and luxury hotels to make moments extraordinary.

Founded in Miami’s Wynwood district in 2004, we’ve grown into a team of over 140 across Miami, New York, and Chicago — and we’re just getting started. Now entering our most ambitious chapter yet, we’re doubling down on people who care deeply about quality, design, and the art of the unforgettable.

That growth is guided by how we work, not just what we make. We care deeply about our people, our partners, and our craft, and we elevate every experience by going beyond expectations at every touchpoint. We own the outcome, leading with integrity and holding ourselves accountable for the results we deliver — our products may be rented, but the results we deliver are ours.

We win as one, building trusted partnerships and shared success through open collaboration, and we grow forward by staying curious, creative, and always learning.

We’re looking for exceptional people who are energized by growth, inspired by craft, and ready to help shape a company at an inflection point. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
