The X9 in raw aluminium with an orange status ring, on a pale grey ground.

Industrial design

One billet. Nine hours. Nothing glued.

The body is cut from solid 6061 in a single set-up, so the chamfer, cap and wall share one datum. The light ring sits behind a diffuser rather than on top of it — you see a glow, never an LED.
