Manifesto.
A Kairn or “cairn” is a pile of stones built by alpinists or explorers, as a milestone or mark of their path. It’s a strong universal symbol, that reassure and orientate.
Kairn is also the name of our independant design agency, established in 2017 by people passionnate of nature and mountains. We draw our inspiration from our urban environment as much as our vast natural suroundings. Alpin designers : this perfectly describe our mindset.
We are willing to design ingenious products, that improve the riding experience. We want them more durable and environmental friendly. We collaborate for 10 years with women and men that share our passion. We go out of the beaten path with them, and it’s fun. Having fun will always be our guideline.
“Life is too short to stay in the valley.”
We are not in Grenoble by chance.
We are proudly located in the “Capital of the Alps” : a human-scale metropole also known as a capital of tech start-ups. Grenoble is also in the heart of Dauphiné, part of the dynamic Auvergne Rhône Alpes region.
Our studio is also surrounded by 3 main mountain ranges. This fantastic location offer us the chance to use the products we design every day ! Follow us on the networks to discover our latest releases or our latest projects.
