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.

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.
