Disillusioned with fashion and not wanting to be yet another shoe brand or architecture firm, a design company was born – set on releasing specific, iconic products and rejecting broad seasonal ranges. The products evolve in projects from international teams (United) in an open way with direct recognition (Nude).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahET-cAGfxtl8wK8LaIMs2X3kAWnqebWP69rhA0LpZvYPaeGuz9tFoWVHlCvN100blZ4RY7JuMziKk5yhSD9EaSzfAirtyQiYpdaMNTZnsoDGgGTy_5mrWmB37O1pSrR-sItFyUhElzLO/s1600-h/Picture+57.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316541529133929986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahET-cAGfxtl8wK8LaIMs2X3kAWnqebWP69rhA0LpZvYPaeGuz9tFoWVHlCvN100blZ4RY7JuMziKk5yhSD9EaSzfAirtyQiYpdaMNTZnsoDGgGTy_5mrWmB37O1pSrR-sItFyUhElzLO/s400/Picture+57.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 356px;" /></a><br />Above left; Rem D. Koolhaas and right, Galahad Clark<br /><br />The company has several fabulous styles of shoes now and continues to grow in both styles and staff. It was originally co-founded by Rem D. Koolhaas (Rem D. Koolhaas is the nephew of better known architect <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rem_Koolhaas">Rem Koolhaas</a> and distinguishes himself from his uncle with the middle inital) and English shoemaker Galahad JD Clark, who is a seventh generation shoe maker from the Clarks family in Somerset. Galahad took over the running of <a href="http://www.terraplana.com/">Terra Plana</a>, an eco friendly shoe company, in 2003.<br /><br />The concept of the company was and still is to meld architectural design and unusual materials with product design, creating unusual but functional shoes. United Nude is part of a creative collective, functioning as a hub of interaction between architects, fashion designers, magazine editors and photographers.<br /><br />Each single pair of shoes is a reinterpretation of an architectural object or represents an exploration of different materials and colours: the first shoe created by United Nude was called “Möbius” and it was inspired by the Barcelona chair created by Bauhaus director Mies Van Der Rohe for the International Exposition in 1929. The uniqueness of this special sandal stood in the fact that it was characterized by a single strip that formed the sole, heel, foot-bed and upper of the shoe.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAvV6uRAqDwsQm96DUfnePy3tXfLg__z6XG2J2TmSCo9tuNes4woHR5qUiGic9dxXMl4Y8qQcER_01pzu1qrDAklMsqQcwzUYXaFh0qTefPCuww1gTh2IeYuAX3LGakmyIHq5COgXo15xe/s1600-h/Picture+48.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316498913694673794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAvV6uRAqDwsQm96DUfnePy3tXfLg__z6XG2J2TmSCo9tuNes4woHR5qUiGic9dxXMl4Y8qQcER_01pzu1qrDAklMsqQcwzUYXaFh0qTefPCuww1gTh2IeYuAX3LGakmyIHq5COgXo15xe/s400/Picture+48.png" style="cursor: pointer;
