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.

在日语中，rinkak指的是一个物体在其背景下的轮廓。从电脑中蜿蜒而出的线缆变成了鼠标的边缘，就像一幅快速的手绘草图。鼠标变成了背景，而线缆——直到现在还是一个配角——走上了主舞台。

We enlarged the silicon ear caps that cover earphones to hide the entire device, creating a set of in-ear headphones with a soft feel and an unusual transparency like that of a jellyfish.
Because the earphones’ components are unified into one piece, substituting the colour or size of the earcap changes their look entirely. To keep with the image of a jellyfish(oto=sound, kurage=jellyfish) floating in the water, the packaging was inspired by a PET plastic soft drink bottle.

我们扩大了覆盖耳机的硅耳帽，以隐藏整个设备，创造了一套入耳式耳机，手感柔软，透明得像水母。

因为耳机的部件是统一成一个整体的，所以替换掉耳机帽的颜色或大小完全改变了它们的外观。为了保持水母漂浮在水中的形象，这个包装的灵感来自于一个宠物塑料软饮料瓶。
