Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again. We’re building a different kind of company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look to how they sound, feel, and function, we care about the details that make technology not just useful, but inspiring. This is a place for the curious. The creators. The ones who ask why not and mean it. If youre drawn to bold ideas, fast moves, and work that actually makes you feel something, you’ll fit right in. Were not here to follow the rules. Were here to make better ones. Founded in London in 2020, Nothing is a design-led tech company building an alternative to the industry giants. Our products, from award-winning smartphones to expressive audio and wearables, blend iconic design with intuitive engineering to put people and creativity back at the centre of consumer tech. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures, and influential investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’ve grown from startup to global challenger in just a few years.

orris studio is named after the orris root — the heart of the iris flower. it takes years to dry before its scent emerges. we love that. it reminds us that the most meaningful things take time. we started orris because the tools around us were starting to feel empty. fast, frictionless, and forgettable. everything built to ship — not to stay. we want to make products with presence. tools with texture, emotion, and a point of view. things that feel like someone cared. not just usable, but personal. not just efficient, but alive. not just part of your workflow but part of your world. rooted in design, shaped by care, and built to last in a world that’s always changing.
