INSANELY LIGHT. ULTRA PACKABLE. SERIOUSLY COMFORTABLE.
Helinox was founded in Seoul in 2009, and soon became a hit with outdoor
lovers and urban dwellers alike in its home market of South Korea and
across the sea in neighbouring Japan. It is the work of a father and son
team, Jake and Young Lah. Jake Lah a revered scientist and engineer in
the outdoor industry, who 30 years ago started his company Dongah
Aluminium Corporation (DAC) which has become the global leader in high
tech tent poles. Young Lah, on the other hand, is an aesthete and it is his
eye for artistic design that drives both the style and creative output of the
brand. Helinox exclusively uses DAC poles in their furniture, and each
product is designed under the watchful eye of Young in the Helinox
Creative Centre in downtown Seoul.
Young Lah took the decision to focus on Europe, and start his own
subsidiary in Amsterdam, Holland in 2018. Helinox quickly built a tribal
following. “We support people’s freedom from the tyranny of stuff, and the
desire to collect experiences [not things], by delivering comfort so you and
your friends can feel at home anywhere.”
Whether it’s in the great outdoors, or by the side of a school playing field, Helinox is considered the best in the
world by outdoor enthusiasts and armchair weekend warriors alike!
