TECH INSPIRATION: Combining the finest materials, functional design, and considered details that enhance the way you live with your tech

Native Union was born out of a shared passion for good design and well-made products. Disenchanted by the nondescript, mass produced plastic that filled the mobile accessories market, founders John Brunner and Igor Duc set out to offer a stylish alternative for the modern individual. By combining the finest materials, functional design, and considered details, Native Union creates products with personality, that enhance the way you live with your tech.

"At Native Union we always try to push the limits of creativity, taking inspiration from the techniques and materials used by other industries to pioneer something new and original. CLIC Marble reimagines one of the most revered natural materials in history, transforming a raw block of marble into a remarkably thin slice." --Fabien Nauroy, Native Union's Head of Design

The artisans at Native Union pride themselves on designing every product in-house. Their award-winning design team is headed up by French born Fabien Nauroy who is motivated by three main principles: user experience, innovation through materials, and attention to detail. By staying true to these values and looking to other industries for inspiration, Native Union always delivers original and useful tech accessories.

A philosophy we believe in:

Quality: Native Union stands against the soulless plastic designs too long associated with tech accessories. Their products aspire for more through quality design that is built to last, and small but thoughtful details that make the biggest differences.

Design: Native Union accessories are first and foremost designed to be functional and improve user experience. They’ll make your life that little bit easier and help you get the most out of your devices. And they look pretty great too.

Materials: Their materials are often surprising but always honest. From the finest marble, to handcrafted wood and polished copper, they give each product its timeless and distinctive appeal; elevating them from a tech accessory to a design object to treasure.
