In today’s fast-paced digital world, the tools we use daily have become extensions of who we are. And while functionality remains essential, design—clean, bold, thoughtful design—is what sets your gear apart.
At Craft by Merlin, we’ve taken one of the world’s most iconic gadgets—Apple’s AirPods—and infused it with a quiet power. Our hand-painted Black AirPods are for those who appreciate subtlety, uniqueness, and craft. No flashy logos. No mass-market templates. Just precision, texture, and distinction.
This is not a trend. It’s a standard—and it starts in matte black.
The Purpose Behind Our Design
We didn’t choose black by accident. Our Black AirPods Collection is inspired by the design ethos followed in architecture, haute couture, and modern tech:
- Simplicity that commands attention
- Surfaces that feel like silk
- Shades that complement, not compete
These AirPods are not about standing out through loud patterns—they stand out through restraint and intentionality. They're for the people who wear crisp white shirts and oversized streetwear, who love creative tech but hate being basic.
Built on Real Craftsmanship
Each pair of Black AirPods is made by hand in our studio using a multi-stage process rooted in industrial-grade techniques and design sensitivity:
-
Prepping the Shell
The original AirPods are gently cleaned, masked, and lightly sanded to create a base that holds paint flawlessly. -
Matte Black Finish Application
We apply multiple coats of custom-mixed black—neither too glossy nor too flat—for a rich satin texture. -
Heat Curing for Durability
Paint layers are cured under controlled heat to ensure long-term wear, resistance to daily smudges, and touch-safe finishes. -
Final Inspection
Every piece is inspected in natural light for color consistency, edge detailing, and overall polish.
The outcome? A piece of artistic utility that feels different from the moment you unbox it.
