A friendly, timeless mark made for something you carry every day. Soft, rounded letterforms and a rising sun set the tone, from the deep green brand palette to the logo etched beneath every handle.

Move freely. Live fully. The Rise site is built on one idea: support should open up someone’s day, not shrink it. Understated layouts, generous space and bright green accents let the cane lead every page.

Rise folds in half at a single knee joint, collapsing to about 20 inches so it fits in a backpack, a carry-on, or the seat beside you.

To fold it, simply bring the foot up under the handle and a magnet snaps it into place, holding the cane in one compact piece.

The handle aligns your weight in a straight line from your shoulder to the ground for balanced support. The handle’s curved shape also lets the folded cane hang from the edge of a table, or wall-mounted hook.

Rise is a folding cane designed to help people move with confidence and dignity.

While there are plenty of alternatives on the market, most come with a compromise: clunky to carry, awkward to store, or out of step with personal style.

With Rise, we wanted to create an elegant solution that felt easy to reach for, made with the same care as anything else someone might carry.

RT1 is Reef Track’s wrist-worn navigation display, giving divers real-time orientation, distance, and route guidance underwater. Every design detail serves readability at depth: high-contrast screen, glove-friendly buttons, custom iconography that reads at a glance, and a silicone band built for saltwater, with the IMU on the diver’s vest to keep the wrist unit lightweight. Less to read, more attention on the dive.
