ABOUT GRAIN & DECIBEL
Founded in Jakarta by a group of acoustic engineers and industrial product designers, Grain & Decibel was born from a deep longing for real physical interaction in a fully virtual digital age.
We believe that a physical button with a satisfying click, a softly damped manual focus ring, and a rotary analog knob create an emotional connection that a cold glass touchscreen can never replace.
01 // TACTILITY
Every product of ours must have a satisfying mechanical tactile interaction. We design the click sound of each button with precision.
02 // DURATION
Built from solid CNC metal and patinable brass that will age beautifully alongside its owner.
03 // ANTIMATTER
No attention-tracking AI algorithms, no annoying push notifications. Pure working utility to produce your best creations.
04 // OPEN CIRCUIT
We support the right to repair by providing open circuit diagrams and calibration manuals for every unit.
