A quiet craft for a loud one. Artist-led editions printed on the things people already touch.
Most "artist" pads are stickers on someone else's stock. We spec the three things that actually touch the palm — cloth, base, grip film — ourselves.
Tighter pick on the weave, thicker polyurethane than the category average, and a plotter-cut silicone film that doesn't shift. Less compromise per square centimetre.
Self-developed fine-weave cloth — tight enough that the artwork resolves into the fiber, not on top of it. Two specs, two feels: Ume runs fine-surface with a touch of bite (control); Vena runs extra-fine under surface treatment (speed).
In-house heat-transfer system built for resolution. Dye renders at the fiber itself — edge-sharp at any scale, no halo, no bleed. Every run is Pantone-matched against master references, so a reprint meets the first one.
Own-spec PU base. Ume runs 4 mm soft, made to give under the wrist on stop-and-start. Vena runs 3 mm mid, made to sit low and hold the glide. The mat settles; the wrist doesn't fight the desk.
Vena's surface carries a three-stage pre-treatment — durability and glide past what stock cloth gives. Irys runs best-in-class silicone grip film: 0.25 ± 0.03 mm, micro-textured, low-residue on the rebound, plotter-cut for seventeen mouse bodies.
A warm voice in the same register as Vena — soft pink, bone, a bruised violet underneath. Painted by the same hand.
Fine-weave cloth — neutral with a touch of bite. Soft PU base at 4 mm, designed to give under the wrist on stop-and-start. A control pad, not a sweep pad. Fine-stitched edge stays out of the way on hour three.
A single face, submerged. The palette is cool, almost cold — indigo and ultramarine, the colour a screen is rarely allowed to be.
Fine-surfaced cloth with an irregular weave. Three stages of surface treatment push durability and glide past most mats on the market. A speed pad. 3 mm mid PU base, set low to hold the glide.
Every grip tape on the market compromises somewhere — polyurethane slips, silicone wears, textures scratch. We tuned ours until grip, durability, and feel all landed in one tape.
The best-in-class grip film in the category. Own-spec silicone, 0.25 ± 0.03 mm, micro-textured to hold through sweat — thin enough that you still feel the mouse. Pantone-matched across every run. Plotter-cut once, so you don't hand-trim seventeen times.
Three short runs outside China. All sold through. We keep them here for the record, not for stock.
Small batches went to specialty shops in Tokyo and Seoul, plus an international channel based in Europe. The posts stay on X. We link to those instead of reprinting them.
