Coloured cables encircle the cases of these computer mice by Japanese designers Nendo.

Called Rinkak, the design for electronics company Elecom creates an outline round the product like a drawn line.


Photographs are by Hiroshi Iwasaki.

Here are some more details from Nendo:
We designed a computer mouse “rinkak” for a Japanese company ELECOM

“rinkak” design concept
In Japanese, rinkak refers to an object’s outline against its background.

The cable that snakes out from the computer becomes the rinkak of a mouse, like a quickly-sketched freehand drawing. The mouse becomes the background, and the cable - until now a supporting actor - takes to the main stage.

This product will be sold in Japan from end of June. And planning to sell Internationally soon.


Another great Nendo's product, I love it.

Love it… Simple and yet adds so much personality… i find particular colours tell a lot about a person
