Human Connections

Empowered by Design

We work with communities to build meaningful one-on-on relationships that inform the initiatives we undertake. From worker’s rights, fair wages, and safe working environments to tuition programs, micro-savings groups, and community gardens, we push design beyond product development to improve the lives of the people we partner with.

Traditional Craft

Technological Innovation

We collaborate with exceptional creators all over the world to find new ways of expressing the relationship between handmade craft and natural materials with technology and innovation. The results are beautiful, contemporary products that keep the past alive through the stories they tell in the present.
