you need to spend a at least an hour in Meikyoku Kissa Lion. custom two story sound system, they only play classical music, no talking, two drink options. changed the way I thought about music spaces.
Enoura Observatory, about an hour outside Tokyo, museum designed by a photographer. inside or outside, everywhere you look there's a view.

@arian_ghashghai @oasisrick how does this compare to the Stream ring?

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

@graftoverflow The lamp is the medium, but the philosophy is the product. You won't be disappointed!

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

Form follows feeling

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

I'm way more into these form factors than the typical humanoid killer robot vibe. Points to a much more whimsical future and I like it.

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

@cixliv The nice thing about a lamp form factor is the weight is already naturally concentrated in the base. Stable even without power.

The future of robots is sexy

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

6 months ago I joined Syncere because it felt like we completely aligned on one simple truth:

You can’t bring tech into people’s homes without a profound respect for the way people actually live.

Introducing Lume.

A lamp that does your chores.

Order now. Shipping this summer.

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

Different backgrounds, same reaction. Great design is universal.

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

We just did a private demo of Lume for Jeff Bezos, Will I Am, Dario Amodei, and more.

The progress over the past six months has been incredible.

The @bySyncere team is so excited to launch this week.

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

@aaronistan @SterlingCooley @bySyncere you're hired

[Kevin Li @likev_in]

Not often you get to work on a truly category-defining product. Beyond excited to show the world what we’ve created.

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

Last night made something very clear.

Robotics is just getting started. Especially for the home. New form factors and new possibilities are everywhere.

We’re at the beginning.

Here’s an early note we wrote on designing home robots at @bySyncere

we've came a long way since we showed a concept just a few months ago

excited to launch soon

[Aaron Tan @aaronistan]

About six months ago, I left Stanford to build a robotics company for the home.

At the time, humanoid hype felt like it was getting ahead of its promises but no one had really shown an alternative.

So we’ve been building one. Excited to share more soon.
