Crab-like speaker holder integrated origami and digital devices
Kogani is smart Loudspeaker Holder developed by Metal goat studio in Tokyo, which was developed for the combination of Japanese origami principles with functional technology. The object has the shape of a crab and is intended to accommodate compact intelligent speakers such as the Amazon Echo Dot or Google Nest Mini. Its design approach integrates capsule shape macking with sculptural elements and gives technological devices a defined spatial and aesthetic presence in an inner environment. Constructed from light synthetic PaperAcrylic and brass, Kogani, uses folded geometries that are reminiscent of traditional origami to achieve structural stability and visual complexity.

The owner is both decorative and functional and serves as an interface between house objects and digital infrastructure. Each device is individually adapted in color and pattern and a clearly non-mobile NFT is assigned, which is linked via QR code to confirm its authenticity.
The project of metal goat studio the Capsule Animals series provides a current series of furniture and inner elements, which are characterized by compact geometries, zoomorphic references and integration with intelligent technologies. Kogani acts as the original prototype in this collection and was initially made available via platforms such as Patreon and Ko-Fi, with the versions being released in limited edition for early supporters.
