BRAND STORY - 2016

Reasons for ".audio

SYRINX began when architect Hironao Sato created a speaker for a space he had designed.

The speakers, with their soft, heavy leather body, were well received for their clear, drifting sound. In response, a patent was obtained and the SYRINX audio brand was born.

This is why the SYRINX domain is ".audio".

And to leather items

We searched for the best leather for the sound and came across vacchetta leather, which is tanned in the traditional Italian way.
The color and luster of the leather is beautifully aged, and the leather is a leather that can be enjoyed for what it is.
However, the production of speakers produces a large amount of scrap wood.

We want to use up the life we have been given with care.

With this in mind, we began developing leather items using the scraps. Since then, vachetta leather has become a representative leather of SYRINX products.
The iconic business card case " Tsutsumu®" was born as SYRINX's first leather item.

BRAND STORY - 2018

Hitoe® is born.

After the launch of Tsutsumu®, under the theme of "light in body and mind," the company released a series of simple and portable iPhone cases, pen cases, document cases, and other products.
Then, realizing that there was a need for a wallet that could be carried lightly, we began development of a wallet.

Thus, the "Hitoe® L-zip," a wallet that specializes in thinness, was born. Hitoe® L-zipwas born.

The product development method is also unique.
D2C stands for "Designer to Consumer," and the designer's ideals are directly asked to the world through crowdfunding. As a result, ideas that receive high acclaim are evolved while reflecting the opinions of users.
