HTC Acquires One & Co. Design

HTC has acquired the San Francisco-based firm One & Company Design. The two have been collaborating since 2006, and jointly created the HTC Touch Diamond.

"Design is key, it is why you love or hate something," said Horace Luke, Chief Innovation Officer, HTC Corp. "Integrating iconic design into HTC products is an inspiring and dynamic challenge that requires a unique combination of consumer insight, creativity, innovation, and an appetite to take risks; attributes that embody One & Co."

In addition to its work with HTC, One & Co has broad design experience in a variety of industries that range from footwear, snowboarding and skiing, furniture, packaging, houseware, timepieces, and more. 

The design firm will not be merged into HTC. Instead, One & Co will maintain its name and client base.
