I understand the disappointment. A lot of people expected Aeperion’s first glasspad to be a clean, solid white design.
Shimo-Quartz is intentionally something different.
It does not replace the minimal, performance-first direction of Crafted to Perform. It is the first expression of Crafted to Empower, a space where we can explore character, identity, and a more emotional side of product design.
It will not be for everyone, and that is okay.
But I would rather take a real creative risk than release the safest product people already expected from us.
