HTC acquires firm that helped design HTC Touch Diamond

Guest post by: Brian James Kirk

The popular Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC has acquired San Francisco-based lifestyle design firm One & Company Design in an attempt to boost its design credibility. HTC is often touted for its iconic handset design, and the two companies first worked with one another in 2006 to develop the HTC Touch Diamond, which has been praised for its industrial design.

One & Co will maintain its name and continue working with its client base that includes a variety of industries: footwear, snowboarding and skiing, furniture, houseware, and more.
