iida | Introducing "lotta," the New Basic Model from "iida"

Compact and simple. Expressing joy through texture and fresh colors.


Introducing "lotta," the new basic model from "iida."


The name "lotta" was born from "lot," meaning "destiny" or "chance encounter." "iida's" new basic model, imbued with a sense of approachable naturalness and a touch of delightful playfulness, is now available.

Beautiful form, color, and a comfortable feel, designed by product designer Ichiro Iwasaki.


Its delicate, slightly trapezoidal silhouette fits comfortably in the hand. Available in three fresh color variations—white, yellow, and green—each color is enhanced by bold combinations. The contrast between a matte texture and a glossy finish, along with three large, embossed numbers on the surface, adds a spicy design element. This combination of strength and clear messaging evokes a positive feeling with every glance.

The graphics on the LCD display are pleasingly composed with high-contrast icons against the background, offering a clean, crisp, and easy-to-read display without unnecessary embellishment. Additionally, a sequence of numbers appears with the clock, acting as a counter that increments each time you operate the lotta. It's a design that makes interaction enjoyable, a playful touch that makes you want to experience it.

Furthermore, as a "LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS" item exclusively for "lotta," the limited-edition "STRAP-TRAP," a first for mobile phone accessories from the highly acclaimed leather goods brand "POSTALCO," makes its debut. The "8071 STRAP," designed by Makoto Oriizaki, is also generating buzz.
