INTRODUCTION
We designed the Kitsune as a playful yet sophisticated 70% FRL-TKL keyboard, aiming to reinterpret the bold geometry of classic mechanical keyboards through modern innovation. Inspired by fox origami, its polygonal form is shaped with sharp folds and intersecting planes to express a sculptural presence and bring a sense of artistry to its case design.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We set out to embrace a seamed design aesthetic, treating visual breaks as a defining part of the boards character rather than concealing them. With this in mind, we carried a polygonal theme through every element, from the angular case to the faceted copper weight, so that each surface and edge contributes to a unified, origami-inspired vision.
