Androgynous, trampified, multidimensional, multifunctional, the brand commercialises an eco-industrial look rooted in a feel-good concept

 

 

 

The company ethos is to avoid suiting   conventional hierarchies and to balance art and commerce, remaining free, and faithful to the principles of nature.

As the archetype of Artemis breaks the mold of the ancient grids, truly devoted to what she knows and loves which in her case is nature, .O uses similar principles to break the conservative mold of the modern genre.
