Chapter 1


Chapter 1 is the introduction to a range, designed to aesthetically excite. The board is inspired by material and displaying that material in a simple yet sophisticated way.

The board is an exploded 65% with a custom rotary encoder.

It uses a sandwich/burger mount system with a subtle leaf spring plate.
