The accessory "effe" combines "always" and "if" into one.
"effe" was born from the desire to create an accessory that can be worn daily and also serve as a protective charm that safeguards the owner in times of need.
While expressing beauty, we gradually wondered if there was a way to also deliver safety to even small children, and what kind of item children would happily wear in their daily lives.
And so, "effe pensiero" was born.
"pensiero" (ペンシエロ) is an Italian word meaning a small gift, thoughtfulness, or consideration that does not burden the recipient.It signifies the small joy of giving and receiving on ordinary days.It embodies the pleasure of thinking about what would make the other person happy.We want to deliver many loops of happiness created by thoughtfulness.
This series is designed to be enjoyable for adults to choose as well.New companions will continue to be added.
**Background**We received a request from the Sabae City Disaster Prevention Division: "The material of glasses is very beautiful, so could we make a whistle accessory like jewelry?"Upon hearing this, we learned that after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the prefecture and city distributed whistles to raise disaster awareness, but many people stored them in their bags, making them unusable in emergencies.To solve this, we decided to create a whistle accessory suitable for everyday use, which led to the birth of the "effe" series.
**Sound Production**The sound is designed to resonate in the high-frequency range of 4kHz, which is easily heard by the human ear and can be heard from beneath rubble over long distances, focusing on the 2kHz to 5kHz range.Additionally, considering the ease of hearing for rescue dogs, sounds at 12kHz, 16kHz, and 20kHz are also produced, forming a beautiful layered spectrum.The sound has been measured at over 85dB during a 5-second average noise test (measured under guidance at a factory testing site).Listen here.
**Name Origin**The material, cellulose acetate, originates from Italy.In Italian, "F" is pronounced "effe" (エッフェ).The letter "F" is associated with various meanings: Fukui (福井), Factory (工場), and Fue (笛, whistle).It also reflects the desire to create something beyond the conventional concept of a whistle, something surprising like "Eh, a whistle!?"—an item that transcends the typical idea of a whistle.
