CHAPTER II
Splintered
INSPIRATION
Resilience wrapped in sophistication. Soft champagne reflects light with a shimmering glow, while sharp thorns emerge along delicate curves. Even the most graceful forms carry an inherent violence, akin to a cutting edge and its deadly dance between raw and refinement.
MATERIALS
Chassis is machined from 6000 series aluminum for superior quality; it is finished with a custom surface blasting and color anodization, a pale gold kissed by copper. The weight is made from stainless steel which has been glass blasted and pvd coated.
Finished with a handmade Thorn emblem. This part is forged, enameled with amber honey, plated with copper, and polished by hand. This piece of jewelry is a welcomed human touch that grabs the eye as it plays off the cold, precise machining of the chassis.
DESIGN
8° chassis with minimal front height for maximum typing comfort. Integrated 8 point silicone force break to prevent unpleasant resonance. Sound travels uninterrupted between PCB and bottom aluminum case, producing a uniform and bright sound signature.
Offering three different mount systems, each with optimized locations. Magnetic, swappable back pieces and Cable Shield for straightforward build process.
