no noticeable lag. no interruptions or "sorry, you go first."
natural and emotive

foster serendipity. be more spontaneous and casual.
custom-built
for early adopters
our first-generation product is custom-built by our team in Japan with a clean design that underscores performance and craft. we're currently producing tonari at a small scale for early customers in Japan, while scaling up for broader adoption later this year.

building
for everyone
in our globalized society, technology has to play a role in enabling natural human connection. we urgently need to explore ways to reduce the heavy environmental costs of air travel, and the time and stress of daily commuting, to be kinder to ourselves and our planet.
the future with tonari is about connecting many kinds of spaces that give people more flexibility about where they work, and how they learn and grow, while also staying close to family and community.
by enabling each of us to be where we want to be, we empower everyone to live and work better, together.
