ABOUT US
The mainline series of OUROPROXY is built upon the core sci-fi gene of “Soviet heavy industrial aesthetics.” It deconstructs and reconstructs the tension between rugged strength and precision engineering, forging a tangible poem of steel in the palm of your hand. The brand seeks to push beyond the traditional boundaries of EDC design—drawing inspiration from the raw mechanics of industrial machinery—to create new possibilities where fidget toys and functional tools collide, rekindling humanity’s past futuristic dreams of the industrial revolution.

The Story and Values Behind the Birth of OUROPROXY
FadeChou, a fervent explorer who has delved into the realm of creation for a remarkable fifteen years, sees his career not as a steadfast commitment to a profession but as a recurring escape from the mundane reality, immersing himself in a fantastical playground brimming with his whimsical ideas. His boundless passion extends to the extraordinary in all forms—the depths of science fiction, the magnificence of fantasy, the intricacies of metal structures, the aesthetic charm of sculptural artworks, and the vibrant hues of paintings—all of which he avidly collects, making him a preeminent collector of niche cultures.
Yet, the relentless pursuit of this passion inevitably accumulated significant stress, with mental anxiety lurking beneath the surface like an undercurrent. In search of fleeting tranquility and liberation, FadeChou yearned to escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, embracing the embrace of nature outdoors and the charm of ancient lifestyles. However, the shackles of reality—the demands of a hectic work schedule—often hindered this aspiration from becoming a regular routine. It was amidst this backdrop that he forged an indelible bond with EDC (Everyday Carry) and Fidget cultures, finding solace in these avenues that resonated deeply with his soul.
Leveraging his extraordinary imagination and profound design expertise, FadeChou embarked on crafting his own line of products, which swiftly garnered overwhelming acclaim and praise from the market. Empowered by this positive reception, he established the ProxyEDC brand, aimed at offering a slice of imaginative respite and carefree breathing space to those who toil amidst the urban jungle, yearning for mental freedom. ProxyEDC transcends merely a product line; it embodies a lifestyle philosophy, a testament to seeking one's true self and embracing dreams amidst the chaos and pressure.
FadeChou masterfully intertwines ProxyEDC with rich IP elements and world-building narratives, endowing each product with a unique story and backdrop. As users interact with these creations, they feel as if they're transported through time and space, becoming interstellar explorers, groundbreaking scientists, or dragon-slaying warriors.
EDC, though not the sum total of life, is a constant companion that traverses life's challenges alongside us. Moreover, it possesses the subtle power to momentarily transport us beyond the constraints of reality, soaring into the vast expanse of dreams and fantasies. It serves as your ally, your confidant, your Proxy in the face of life's pressures.
