Our ultra-flexible, electrostatic fabric speakers redefine the boundary between audio and space. Light as a veil yet scalable to tens of meters, this technology wraps entire environments in seamless melody.
Optimized for mid-to-high frequencies, it delivers female vocals with breathtaking clarity. Unlike traditional speakers, the entire fabric surface breathes with countless microscopic sound sources, creating a dreamlike soundscape that feels both omnipresent and intimate.
As you move, the audio follows—a cinematic, immersive experience that blurs the line between reality and art.
Fabric to Spaces of Sound.

ｰ SXSW 2026 EXPO ｰ
Showcased NWON at SXSW 2026 EXPO.
In March 2026, Tsuchiya exhibited "NWON" at the SXSW 2026 EXPO in Austin, Texas. Our showcase proposed a new experiential value that seamlessly fuses space and technology, attracting immense interest from a large number of visitors.
Furthermore, our initiative earned high recognition from the SXSW committee, leading to our official selection for the "Innovation Clubhouse." As part of this program, we hosted a seminar presentation to share the concept and technology of "NWON" on a global stage. Through this exhibition and speaking opportunity, we were able to broadly highlight the vast potential of "NWON," making it a highly meaningful step for our future expansion.

FAQ
Q. How is NWON different from conventional speakers?
Q. How is NWON different from conventional speakers?
A. The key difference is that it does not require the large, heavy “box” used in conventional speakers. This allows it to blend seamlessly into spatial design while creating an integrated sound field. It is also lightweight and can be folded or rolled for easy transport.

Q. What are the characteristics of its sound quality and dispersion?
Q. What are the characteristics of its sound quality and dispersion?
A. It has high directivity, allowing sound to be projected clearly over long distances in a specific direction. It is particularly effective at reproducing mid-to-high frequencies, making it well suited for delivering environmental sounds and vocals with high clarity. For deep bass, we recommend using it in combination with a subwoofer.
