Both Helinox and WE11DONE were founded in South Korea and have built international reputations by combining clean design with premium craftsmanship. While Helinox focuses on engineering some of the lightest portable outdoor furniture on the market, WE11DONE has earned a cult following for its oversized silhouettes and contemporary take on luxury fashion. Technical gear is no longer simply being worn in the city but is increasingly being reimagined through the lens of luxury fashion.
