Eden

Eden is built on a tension between the
rigor of modernist utility and organic growth pushing through it.

Eden's silhouette plays with hard bezels. sharp chamfers and a highlighted seam that states its composition plainly.

The dramatic curve carved into its sides breaks into the brutalist composition, accenting the ruthless composition with contrast that marries these two concepts together.

The use of Raw Copper and Pre-Patina weights bring an additional layer of depth in its organic ambitions.

Creating an object that juggles the lines of sharp utility and comforting nature.

A garden-city board could have taken the way out:
A clean minimalist shell with a small botanical accent stamped on top, maybe a weight engraved on the underside as the "nod" to the concept.

Eden exists to go against this grain.

The tension is the reason Eden exists, it's the split between the top and bottom halves of the case itself, not an engraving added after the design was already finished.

As our debut project, we didn't hedge our bets and offset risk into an indefinite pre-order.

Waiting 6-8 months for a group buy, paid upfront for production, get almost no communication and accountability for their promises but get told that that's just how it works.

That wasn't what I wanted to start with.

Each round of Eden is sold in-stock, and are manufactured in limited quantities: 50 in R1 (Raw Weights) and 200 in R2 (Patina Weights)

Colourways will not restock and did not repeat, by choice.

Each colourway is a record of a design decision made;
Repeating it on demand cheapens the conviction of the decision, and I'd rather lose the money from not re-issuing the most popular colourways.

Round 2 completed what I wanted to say through Eden.

With that, Eden will not longer be produced.

Eden ships through MECHA for fulfillment, providing fulfilment support.
