The conceptual 'Koishi' TWS earbuds have been designed by Sjoerd Ramaker as a stylish audio solution that would highlight a naturalistic aesthetic for users to appreciate and enjoy each day. The earbuds are named after the Japanese word for pebble and feature a soft form that will allow them the be perfectly positioned into the rounded charging case. A light strip runs across the case to indicate charging or when they're low on power.

The conceptual 'Koishi' TWS earbuds will maintain a completely flush design when they are docked in the main pebble-like charging case to make them a comfortable option to carry in a pocket. The cases and the earbuds themselves are imagined in three naturalistic finish options.
