United Nude is a design studio and fashion brand specializing in avant‑garde footwear and furniture. The company was founded in 2003 by French designers Romain Kremer and Alexandre de Betak. Headquartered in Paris, United Nude is known for its architectural approach to shoe design, often employing innovative materials, engineering techniques, and manufacturing processes such as 3D printing and laser cutting.
The brand’s collections typically explore the relationship between form, function, and technology. Notable shoe lines have included the “Voom” series, characterized by a translucent heel capsule, and the “2nd Skin” series, featuring minimalist, close‑fitting silhouettes. United Nude has collaborated with a range of artists, architects, and luxury brands, producing limited‑edition pieces and cross‑disciplinary projects that extend the label’s aesthetic into furniture, lighting, and interior design.
United Nude operates retail locations in several major cities, including Paris, Tokyo, and New York, and its products are distributed through selected high‑end department stores and boutique retailers worldwide. The brand is frequently featured in fashion weeks, design exhibitions, and industry publications for its contribution to the convergence of fashion and industrial design.
