A 370 WORD STORY

Once upon a time TIET's founder overengineered a silly product for cleaning glasses with a necktie. He called it tie+ ("tie plus"). 

Since tie+ looked like "tiet" he googled it to make sure it wasn't an acronym for anything horrendous. He found enlightment in the form of an entry in Urban Dictionary:


"Tiet is an acronym standing for "take it easy thursday", tiet is a mindset, a way of life, a method in which one can enjoy his Thursday, at work or at play."

TIET became a company name and a life goal. The focus was enjoying life whether at work OR play – and if you do it right, you won't be able to tell the difference. 

TIET sounds like "tight" because it's "tie" with an extra t on the end.

HOUSE OF TAKEITEASYTHURSDAY

MAISON TIET is a house for talented people and meaningful endeavors to create expertly engineered, beautiful, and functional products.

We're a small company and the products we make are things we want for ourselves – and we have very high standards.


OUR MOTIVATION

Our products are engineered to exacting specs, and they have sustainability embedded in their DNA. That's not lip service to a bandwagon cause – hemp is actually a superior material. Our pieces spread this knowledge by speaking for themselves.

If you can make better products from more environmentally friendly materials, you just do it. 

We figure out how to do the right thing even if it costs more, because we're good at what we do and we have confidence in what we make – and that you'll agree once you have a MAISON TIET article in your hands.
