Hardware As Signature

Every piece of INNÈ hardware is finished the same way: brushed across the face, polished at the edge, in a single pass. It is more expensive and slower than plating a uniform shine, and it is the reason the gold reads as weight rather than glitter.

Zip pulls carry the È in relief. Rivets carry it recessed. Buttons carry it blind — you find it with a thumb before you find it with an eye.

Hardware is also where a garment fails first. Ours is tested to ten thousand cycles wet, five thousand cold. If it survives that, it earns the mark.

The objects programme grew out of this discipline. Once you can make a good zip pull, a pen is not a leap.
