OUR ROOTS

Originally from Germany, NUVI’s founder Nina Rössler left her job as a product designer in search of something else. She knew her personal beliefs — valuing the planet over profit — did not match how the industry operated.

While living in Southeast Asia, she worked closely with local artisans, studying how to transform the region’s abundant teak leaves into a natural leather-alternative. This innovation marked the beginning of NUVI, officially launched in 2014. Partnering with co-founder Christophe Cappon, the team explored sustainable material solutions, using their first-gen teak leaf material to craft yoga straps, lamps and fashion accessories.

Recognizing the need to scale their vision, Nina returned to Germany, where her father, Andreas Rössler, brought his engineering expertise to the table. Together, they shifted NUVI’s focus toward developing next-generation materials with industrial scalability, setting the stage for global impact.
