Read about the story behind what it means to live lumpy and the faces behind our brand.
Our Mission
At Lumpy, we are more than just a brand –we're a celebration of Asian heritage, innovation, and creativity. Founded by a team of diverse Asian engineers and designers – hailing from Thailand, Laos, Korea, and Taiwan – our mission is to weave the rich tapestry of our cultural heritage into every aspect of our products.
We aim to be a platform where nostalgia meets modernity, where the beauty of imperfection is celebrated. We embrace the quirks and lumps of life, just as we do with our 'ugly' fruit line, turning nature's imperfections into delightful treasures.
Through our design-forward approach and playful spirit, we reimagine Asian icons and traditions, breathing new life into age-old symbols. Our goal is to spark joy and connection, inviting everyone to explore and appreciate the vibrant mosaic of Asian culture.
We believe in honoring our roots while embracing the future. Join us on this journey as we carve out new paths, one luscious lump at a time.
