ORENJ' YOU FEELING NOSTALGIC

ORENJI is a keycap set inspired by the new wave of modern tech dressed up in retro charm.

I’ve always gravitated toward the work of those adolescent engineers with their pocket-sized instruments and the rise of nostalgia-fueled gaming gadgets and emulators. Together they create this perfect retro-futuristic vibe that really resonates with me.

The novelties for Orenji reflect those influences with playful speaker cutouts and the simple toggles and sliders you’d find on classic game consoles or those quirky, minimalist gadgets from that famous Scandinavian studio. The name Orenji, a Japanese romanization of “orange,” calls back to the bold, energetic color that shows up throughout this retro-inspired tech movement. There’s also a subtle robotics feel to the palette, which inspired the wing-like accent column on the 65 and 75 percent layouts.
