Feature
Made With Tokyo
Tokyo Keyboard collaborates with independent urban workshops in Japan to spotlight their manufacturing expertise and create a uniquely local product.
Come tour a special trio of Tokyo machi-kōba — small-scale, independent workshops — as we take you behind the scenes to meet the people who collaborated on the components of the Alix40. Tokyo Keyboard founder Alvin Cheung walks us through the process; from CNC acrylic machining in Adachi to sandblasting in Katsushika, to experimental gradient dyeing in Asakusa.
