Intertwining elements that embody
the human experience

We are Purpose Driven

“Redefining how technology feels by integrating the smart with the soft, to positively impact everyday lives”

Our Story

As we bring technology closer to people, we are threading progress and empowerment into the fabric of the future.

When was the last time you felt a sense of wonder when experiencing technology? When a real need was met by a solution that simply worked? It’s a rare feeling, isn’t it? We see this in our industry. Wearables become gimmicky, textiles become unsustainable and innovation becomes disconnected from need.

We are here to change all that.

By weaving technology into textiles, we push the boundaries of what is imaginable – and accessible – for our users, our partners and our industry. We amplify creative vision with manufacturing scale to redefine how technology feels to people.

We’re driven by thoughtful momentum, where our inventiveness is rooted in real-world needs. From a moment of fun to a sigh of relief, we’re intrinsic to people’s lives.

We are a diverse global team spun from a rich common heritage. We combine the entrepreneurial spirit of a newcomer with the credibility of a veteran. From sketch to shelf, from technology to healthcare, and from startups to large enterprises, we are the partner of choice to integrate the smart with the soft at scale.
