THE FUTUR IS HERE


Like Amir, I got pickpocketed and have fallen victim to skimming a few years back in Hong Kong. In the summer of 2014 while working in New York City, Amir had his credit card information stolen. Hundreds of dollars of fraudulent purchases were made using his personal information. After consulting his bank, they had informed him that credit cards were being skimmed all over the city using simple RFID technology and that he may have fallen victim to skimming.

Fast forward to 2016, Amir and his sister, Hanieh Sigari, meticulously designed and created FUTUR, the world’s first innovative & high-quality RFID blocking wallet, preventing scammers from stealing your information.

Sexy, safe, and built to last, the wallets come in wood, carbon fiber and aluminum.

"
We were tired of minimalistic wallets that made it impossible to access cards and cash easily. We have obsessed over every single detail. This isn't just another wallet, it's the best wallet crafted for beauty and complete functionality,” added Hanieh & Amir Sigari.

You can choose from either cash strap or money clip for those who wish for some more carrying space, Cash Strap is like no other. With a built-in pocket, now you can carry extra gear without compromising the slick aesthetics of your Futur wallet
Every component of the Futur Wallet was meticulously designed. From the chamfered edges to the hidden screws, this wallet excels in clean design like no other. It wasn't an easy task, but through advanced manufacturing and assembling techniques, the aluminum and carbon fiber versions feature a seamless design that hides all hardware components out of sight.

For the wooden version, it is CNC machined from a block of pure black walnut or carbonized bamboo and are then hand sanded and varnished to bring out the natural beauty in the grains. The wood is supported by a metal core, a pivotal design feature which not only make the wallets stronger, but also added RFID protection. Also, the screws used to bind the wood body to the metal core is a custom made t3 Torx head screw with "CD" grains.

They say the devil is in the detail and trust me, they spared no expense perfecting these details.

BECAUSE HOW YOU DECORATE YOUR HOME REALLY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE



Alessandro Squarzi, the Milan-based fashion entrepreneur and street-style regular shows restraint done right
Like fashion, your approach to how you decorate your home is an expression of one’s self, with the furniture and objects you chose directly reflecting your own experience, or a pursuit of a showplace, stocked with attractive yet impersonal objects. It’s definitely not the latter for me.
Frank Muytjens, Menswear Director of J. Crew in his dreamy upstate New York Cottage
I believe there’s a karma associated with decorating and that the people who pursue the first option are ultimately happier. Trust me, in some sense, the way you relate your love seat or a coffee table is, like it or not, the way you relate to the people in your life – because you are either being authentic or you are not.
Fashion regular, Nick Wooster and his tasteful and masculine West Village apartment
How you decorate your home really has everything to do with the way you live your life. When it comes to your own home, do not be afraid to keep it personal and less trendy, just because.
No pretense, definitely real – who knows, it might even make you a happier person.
