Joe Mansfield and Ken Tomita are product designers working and manufacturing with a team in Portland, Oregon. They are responsible for developing and operating ‘Grove‘; a small firm that produce the most beautiful (if it were ever possible!) technology cases (for iPhone) that I have ever seen. They are made of Bamboo and are a sustainable alternative to the standard rubber, plastic and silicone cases around the traps. This natural material is strong, hard, flexible, dimensionally stable and fast growing (3-4 years). The lazer engraved surface patterns from their artists collection are beautifully articulated but you can also have your own customized artwork engraved.
