Failure Story 1

Several years ago, we produced the original goods collaborating with some artists.

This mouse pad is made by Minoru ISHIHARA who does Dyeing Art. The surface is made of fiberglass and non-slip mat on the other side.

The technique of the pattern is Marbling, which is what he is good at. Usually, Marbling is done with papers as you know, but Mr. Ishihara found the way to marble with fiberglass.

I like this unique and shiny surface of it. And this non-smooth surface is good for both wheel and optical mouse, so I thought this is beautiful and still functional.

But, the fiberglass would eventually be rubbed and start to become threadbare, and give your hand a tingling discomfort.

It is okay to use it as a mat, but we found out this is not good for mouse pads.

I paused to realize how difficult Product Developing is. I learned it, again.
