Our Story

Elegance: there is an ineffable quality to some technology, described by its creators as concinnitous, or technically sweet, or a nice hack - signs that it was made with great care by one who was not merely motivated but inspired. [The Diamond Age]

We are a small engineering company based in Kuala Lumpur. Founded in the midst of the dot-com bust, we have since been driven by our passion to provide quality engineering products and services. Committed to creating designs that satisfy a specific criteria of elegance, we promise that our works are truly inspired and not just run off the mill. Our vision is to bring beauty into the world through engineering elegant hardware and software solutions to convoluted problems. We are advocates of open-source and actively contribute to the community through our own projects.
