(1) Beauty in everyday use.
The case is designed to work in your everyday life without you thinking about it, while matching the design-language of your home and everyday life.
14 months of engineering.
We released the original Carry Case in 2023, and in the first 20 months, more than 20,000 people bought it.
It told us we were onto something. But it also showed us what could be better. So we started over and spent the next 14 months getting it right.
The new case is precision-milled from a single block of high-grade aluminum, which let us upgrade everything from dimensions and functions to surface treatment and finish.
In my book, the result is a statement piece that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
I hope you’ll feel the same.

Shaped by timeless Scandinavian design principles.
The case is designed to work in your everyday life without you thinking about it, while matching the design-language of your home and everyday life.
It's made to go wherever you do. That's why there isn't a single sharp edge on it. It drops into a pocket or a bag without catching on anything, and it's simply great to hold.
Too light and the object feels cheap, while lying about what it's made of. Too heavy and you leave it at home. At 180 grams, the case feels like the solid metal it is, and still disappears into a pocket.

There wasn't a blueprint to make a case like this. Every decision, from manufacturing technique to final surface finish, had to be worked out through research, experimentation, and extensive expertise from our selected partners.
Every case is crafted from a solid block of high-grade aluminum with incredible attention to detail. A 5-axis CNC carves the interior cavity, the lid channel, and the chamfered edges at a tolerance of ±0.01 mm.
As one of the lightest and strongest materials in the world, high-grade aluminum allow the case to feel like a sculpted object, while still being both portable and rigid for everyday use. It can also be colored uniquely, while maintaining the depth and feel of the raw metal.

Milled from one solid block

6063-T5 Aluminum
As one of the lightest and strongest materials in the world, aluminium brings both portability and rigidity to the case. It can also be coloured uniquely, while maintaining the depth and feel of raw metal.
Every finish starts with the raw milled aluminum. The surface is then prepared differently depending on the colorway; polished smooth, brushed with a directional grain, or blasted to a matte texture.
Anodized for optimal lifespan
What follows for all of them is the anodization process. An electrical current grows a layer of aluminum oxide from the metal itself, and color is absorbed into the oxide structure. The process infuses the metal with color, resulting in a surface that is a part of the metal, rather than a coat on top of it. This also makes the surface scratch-resistant, corrosion-proof and UV-stable.
The surface is blasted with fine pearl beads at 150 grit. Thousands of micro-impacts reshape the aluminum into a uniform matte texture that runs every way at once, an even, light-absorbing surface.
A uniform fine blasting, followed by an electrochemical bath that pulls back the surface. What is left is completely smooth under the hand, with the shape of the metal doing the work.
A horizontal grain across the face of the case. Fine enough to feel smooth under your thumb, coarse enough to read clearly in light. The strokes break into shorter marks, overlapping across the surface.
