Materials & Process

Inspiration

Our initial source of inspiration came from our admiration for the transformative abilities and construction of parachutes. The lightness of their fabric, their durable construction, and their ability to adapt from a tiny backpack into a large canopy in a matter of seconds. These attributes act as a guide as we create our adaptable and durable products, designed to take on different forms and purposes.
