Tivi founders, Ryan Wither and Paul Lewin, began the men's and women's accessory company in 2004. Their designs reflect a mixture of hard and soft, tough and elegant, wood and steel, art and function. At the core of their work is a focus on individuality, which can always be found in the subtle details and craftsmanship of all Tivi products.
