STORY
Di-lite Equipment is based in the north of Tuscany; this area is a hiker’s paradise: mountain paths, peaks, seashore, and everything a nature-lover might want.
Over the years outdoor activities have gifted Us a lot of beautiful memories, but far less pleasing are those related to carrying stuff around.
In the summer of 2014, I went camping with a bunch of friends and, being the one in charge of chairs and tents, I carried them all along the path to the camping zone.
The weight was too much and as I got to the campsite I realized I had strained my back, and for the following week, I was completely unable to move.
It was then that, just for fun, I began to think of a way to improve portable furniture.
Joining forces with my father Paolo, longtime designer and geometry enthusiast, We started taking it seriously: in the 3 years following, We developed a revolutionary technology and (as the team gained new essential members) We successfully launched our first Kickstarter campaign and shipped over a thousand products to customers all over the globe.
