Winning entry

MBC-332VC series of color controllers

Our goal was to create an ultimately simple design that fits in with any interior atmosphere and blends in with people's daily lives. With a linear structure that values space, it conveys a simple yet high-class feeling. We also paid particular attention to the quality of the sound quality, making sure it does not spoil the spatial mood. Of course, it is easy to operate, with electrostatic switches that require only a light touch. English notations and English audio are also supported.
