Hi, We found many samples when we were cleaning our lab.
All item are only 1 pcs or less than few.
NoRm Prototype
The other side of Zero series
Throughout the development of the Zero series, we have been thinking about what a normal yo-yo should be for us. Zero series follows the shape of the Duncan Butterfly, which is arguably the foundation of the modern yo-yo. Shape is rounded that pays homage to the Anti-yo, which still has a devoted fan base more than a decade after its release. High walls, wasteful design, and weight distribution that is not too close to the outer edge, it has a unique and tasteful playability. On the other hand, the popular ordinary yo-yo in the modern era of 2023 is the exact opposite. It is a sophisticated, lean design with low edges, a lightened center section, and a weight distribution that is closer to the outer side. Exactly, these are the two sides of the same coin. In designing the Zero series, we felt that creating a popular, normal yo-yo would also define a normal yo-yo for us, and this was the impetus for the development of NoRm.
Unnormal, Normal yoyo. Thinnest, but Thickest
NoRm is a normal yo-yo based on the MoNo 54mm, the flagship model for At Design Lab, with a lowered edge, wider and adjusted to a simple weight distribution. The iconic spiked hubs and linear design have been eliminated for a simpler look. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary yo-yo. However, NoRm is not an ordinary yo-yo despite its appearance, in fact, it has a secret that makes it not ordinary at all. That is, NoRm is designed with the thinnest A6061 material except for the outer circumference, and all the weight is placed on the outer circumference. Major brands that design for mass production cannot possibly make NoRm with the thinnest A6061 material due to the longer manufacturing time and concerns about vibration. We were able to develop this unorthodox design as a design lab experiment, with the help of the factory’s technically skilled engineers.
NoRm playability
NoRm is a mono-metal yo-yo that has a tenacious rotational force, while at the same time being easy to move and soft feeling, which belies its appearance. The weight distribution to the outer circumference produces tenacious rotational force, while the center of the yo-yo is most lightest, so it does not weigh too much and is easy to move around. The Smooth Ultimatte Coating gives the yo-yo an elegant playability.

MONO 56mm JAPAN Anodization Prototype
Special color when we look for anodization factory in Japan. Surface is less matte than original MONO 56mm. There are few small scratch because we used damaged sample for this anodization test. Only 1 pcs.
MoNo TITANIUM Prototype
Only 1 pcs and tested by few throws.
- Diameter 54.5 mm
- Width 42.4 mm
- Weight 66.0g
- Response: Original size compatible with CLYW/A-rt
- Coatring: Matte coating
MoNo Snow Coating Edition for Display use
We used this for display at POP-UP during this summer because this yoyo has vibration and damaged. You can use it but please note that this yoyo has vibration.
MoNo series and ZeRo A minus grade
There are small scratch, damage or anodization error.
Mono 52mm Prototype (Raw color blasted sample)
Mono 52mm prototype, but it was surface blast test sample when we look for Japanese blast factory. Half body is rough blasted, rest is super rough blasted. This is raw color and please understand the aging due to the raw. Only 1 pcs.
