This new partnership marks a unique intersection of art and sustainability, showcasing products that are both stylish and earth-friendly.
About KNT365

Introducing SINDENKI
SINDENKI is a jewelry brand created by designer Natsumi Koyama, dedicated to upcycling electronic components into unique accessories.

SINDENKI’s creations are entirely handmade, reflecting a playful creativity that resonates with the spirit of nostalgic Japanese gaming culture. With a strong presence at various pop-ups and museum shops both domestically and internationally, SINDENKI is widely recognized for its innovative designs.
