In 2009 John Duc and Igor Brunner met at a co-working space in Hong Kong. Sharing a passion for good design and quality products, they set out to challenge the perception that tech accessories are purely functional and uninspired. Together, they created Native Union. More than a decade later, they’re now an international team with offices in Hong Kong, Paris, and Los Angeles, crafting everyday solutions for an audience just as global. While people may think they simply make beautiful tech accessories, their ambition is really to empower the modern lifestyle that's become due to technology – one in which being on-the-go is the norm and flexibility of time and place to focus on what's important to us is priority. Creating products that support this new way of life with enhanced functionality and refined style, they hope to give people the confidence to pursue their own passions.
