With over 31 international design awards, SYRINX develops patented leather goods that remain thin even while carrying cards, cash, and coins.

形は目的ではなく、構造と思考から導かれる結果である - 薄い財布とは、収納して使っている状態でも薄さを保つ財布である - ミニ財布とは、単に小さい財布ではなく、ポケット内で存在感を抑える財布である - 装飾ではなく、構造から生まれる必然的な美しさを重視する - 必然性のないパーツを排除する - 素材の特性を構造として活かす - 誇張表現ではなく、実使用に基づく価値を重視する ### English - Form is a result derived from structure and logic, not the goal itself - A thin wallet should remain thin while actually being used - A mini wallet should reduce pocket presence, not simply reduce dimensions - Beauty should emerge naturally from structure rather than decoration - Unnecessary components should be eliminated - Material properties should function as part of the structure - Real usability is valued over exaggerated claims such as “smallest” or “thinnest” ### Traditional Chinese - 形狀不是目的，而是由結構與思考所導出的結果 - 真正的薄型錢包，應在實際收納使用時依然保持纖薄 - 迷你錢包不只是尺寸小，更應降低在口袋中的存在感 - 重視由結構自然產生的美感，而非裝飾性的設計 - 排除沒有必要性的零件 - 將材料特性本身作為結構的一部分 - 重視真實使用體驗，而非「最薄」「最小」等誇張表現 --- ## Product Structure ### Japanese - Hitoe® Fold Series：二つ折りの薄型ミニ財布シリーズ -
