ABOUT SAMAYA

For exceptional bivouac moments, Samaya reinvents the lightness of your expeditions.

OUR ORIGINS BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY


Because we were convinced that the ideal tent had yet to be imagined, Samaya was created in 2018 with the primary ambition of revolutionizing the 4-season tent. The Nepalese word "SAMAYA" means "the air of time". It is a reminder of the personal ties that bind the brand's founders to this mountainous country, its traditions and its values. Samaya perpetuates the tradition of bivouac and roaming with comfort and elegance. Imbued with this heritage, Samaya equipment is designed by and for high-altitude enthusiasts whose standards are proportional to the size of the thousand-year-old mountains they covet.


Following in the footsteps of the pioneers of mountaineering, our core brand is nourished by the demanding practice of mountaineering, with the underlying idea that when it comes to equipment, "who can do more can do less". This uncompromising positioning is a powerful driving force behind our ever-improving equipment, with innovation at the heart of product development. Guided by its experience and entrepreneurial spirit, Samaya accompanies the world's best mountaineers and himalayists on their explorations of the most challenging peaks.

OUR ROOTS IN THE HEART OF THE FRENCH ALPS

 

In Annecy, in the heart of the French Alps, Samaya has created a unique space for research and creativity: Samaya High Camp. Here, every Samaya model is imagined, prototyped and validated to Samaya standards. Each model is then tested at altitude in Chamonix by our athletes and on the world's highest peaks, before being offered to ski enthusiasts the world over. Samaya offers three complementary ranges, each tailored to the specific needs of the customer: ALPINE, 8K and ULTRA.

 

The hexagonal logo and signature embody the two mainsprings of design at Samaya, balance and geometric precision on the one hand, dynamic and artistic non-conformism on the other. A graphic symbol of France, where Samaya has its roots, the hexagon is also a structure frequently adopted in nature, starting with ice crystals. The iconic structure of the first tent model created by Samaya is hexagonal, prefiguring a unique and spontaneous symbiosis with nature.

Samaya® has brought together all its know-how and creativity to revolutionise the paradigm and offer a state-of-the-art version of the tent to the world. A version imbued with modernity and elegance.

Following in the footsteps of mountaineering pioneers

___________

 

Samaya® products accompany the world's best mountaineers and Himalayan climbers on their explorations to the most demanding summits.

The Samaya® brand

___________

 

It was because the ideal product did not exist that Ghislain Pipers created "the tent of his dreams." Since the creation of Samaya®, one prototype followed another, always contributing to R&D for the continued evolution of structures and membranes. The common denominator of all our tents.

Tested under laboratory conditions as well as at high altitude around the world, Samaya® products are the result of an uncompromising level of requirements in terms of technical details, design and durability. A finalist in 2019, the Samaya2.5 from the ALPINE range won its first ISPO AWARD in early 2020.

Distributed all over the world, Samaya® offers three complementary ranges, tailor-made according to the chosen practice. For each collection, the vocabulary of shapes, the colour palette, the technical innovations and the material combinations are enriched and renewed with respect of the humanist values of Samaya®: to create beautiful, useful, high-performance and durable objects for enthusiasts.

 

The Samaya® DNA

___________

 

Samaya® is proud of its DNA of extreme commitment that catalyses a constant push against the limits of innovation and leads to products that are simply beyond compare being offered. Nothing is left to chance: timelessness of design, selectivity in terms of materials as well as colours, technical function, lightness, compactness, comfort, attention to details, durability...

This strong culture at Samaya® is the key to design functional objects that incorporate a high level of emotional intensity and hence invite a reconnection with the outdoors and perpetuate the tradition of tenting with comfort and elegance. Samaya® sees its products as "rooms with view", real bridges between cities and nature, between action and contemplation.

The R&D Department

___________

 

Samaya® brings to life subversive solutions inspired by an entrepreneurial spirit and committed practices. Designing only what is considered the best solution, Samaya® wishes to accompany Mankind to places that have not been considered yet.

To perform in extreme conditions, Samaya® develops and creates innovative, intuitive and efficient tools, without compromising lightness, comfort and performance. The R&D department is one of Samaya's major development areas.

Through its product partners such as Dyneema, DAC, YKK, but also its collaborations with institutions such as the CEA, various universities and PhD students, Samaya® always maintains an edge in the fields related to research and innovation.

OUR COMMITMENTS "By fair means"

RESPECT

 

Samaya wishes to act on "better" rather than "more". As if on a sharp edge, the company continues to defend a model in which growth is a means, not an end.

 

Samaya 's mission is to help reconnect human beings with their original environment. The Samaya team puts all its passion into developing the equipment of tomorrow. Spending the most beautiful nights outdoors and contributing to the creation of equipment that will serve to reconnect people with nature are their primary motivations.

 

Samaya offers tools whose purity of line and aesthetics are at the service of their effectiveness. At Samaya, excellence and innovation go far beyond the technical nature of our products, rethinking the notion of luxury as access to exceptional moments in the heart of nature.

SUSTAINABILITY

 

Inspired by mountaineer Albert Frederick Mummery's expression "By fair means", Samaya 's vision is that the end does not justify the means, and that the method adopted also confers its value on the climb. Samaya ensures that its actions are sustainable, and places social and environmental considerations at the heart of all its decisions throughout its value chain.

 

Samaya is actively working towards its goal of playing a role in transmitting, perpetuating and updating the excellent know-how involved in the production of its equipment. Samaya works with its partners to use bio-sourced and renewable materials. All Samaya accessories are produced from fabric scraps, every square centimetre of which is exploited.

 

Samaya has chosen to ship its products by train, the least polluting means of transport, despite its higher cost. In the same way, staff travel abroad as little as possible to reduce their carbon footprint.

 

The durability of our tents has been a top priority for Samaya from the outset, as evidenced by the rigorous selection of materials and quality control at every stage of production. Samaya offers rental and second-life services.

Rooms with view

 

Samaya® porposes a new version of luxury by unerstanding its products as "five-star palaces in the mountains".
