"Always" and "What If" Combined: The Effe Whistle Accessory
"Effe" was born from the desire to be an accessory that can be worn daily, yet also serve as a protective charm for the wearer in times of need.
While "expressing beauty," we also began to wonder how to extend that safety to small children, and what kind of item they would happily wear in their daily lives.
And thus, "Effe pensiero" was born.
"Pensiero" is Italian for a "small gift that doesn't burden the recipient," meaning "consideration" or "thoughtfulness."The joy of giving and receiving small, everyday gifts.The pleasure of pondering what might make the other person happy.We want to deliver many such happiness loops born from thoughtfulness.
This is a series that adults will also enjoy choosing from.New additions will continue to join the collection.
《The Inspiration》We received a request from the Sabae City Disaster Prevention Division: "Eyeglass materials are very beautiful, could you create a whistle accessory?"We learned that since the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the prefecture and city had distributed whistles to raise disaster awareness, but many people kept them stored away in their bags, rendering them unusable in emergencies.To solve this problem, we decided to create a whistle accessory for everyday use, which became the inspiration for the Effe series.
《Sound Design》The sound is designed to resonate in the high-frequency range of 4kHz, which is easily audible to the human ear (2kHz-5kHz) and can carry far even from beneath rubble. It also considers audibility to rescue dogs, with clear layers of sound at 12kHz, 16kHz, and 20kHz. An average sound level of over 85dB has been measured over 5 seconds (measured under the guidance of the factory testing facility).Listen here
《Origin of the Name》The material, cellulose acetate, is Italian in origin.In Italian, "F" is pronounced "effe.""F" is imbued with various meanings such as Fukui, Factory, and Fue (whistle).We also wanted to create something that breaks the conventional concept of a whistle, evoking a sense of surprise like, "Eh, a whistle!?"
