Materials & Process

Inspiration

The original inspiration came from our admiration for the transformative shape of parachutes and the lightness of their durable functional textiles. We want to create adaptable and durable products that take on different forms and purposes.

Design & Development

Adaptable objects can take on several different forms and purposes - always there when you need it and easily put away when you don’t. We believe that giving the objects we design the ability to adapt to different situations is fundamental to living a life that is lighter and more enjoyable.

All caps and future products are designed, prototyped, and developed in our small studio/ living room space.
