Concept
Breathing helps people handle a situation in the moment better than anything else. This is supported by a vast amount of practice in yoga and psychology. Therefore, our brand offers you the ability to whistle and breathe without the subsequent feeling of guilt. We also offer whistling toys with different sounds for those who enjoy cringe.
Key Idea
Humans experience constant emotional and physical tension but lack a simple, natural daily ritual to help them transition from a state of perpetual activity to one of relaxation.The primary research question is: How do people cope with chronic emotional strain, and why do existing practices become integrated into their daily lives while ultimately harming their health?
Mission
To teach people how to manage their own state independently, without resorting to excessively harmful habits, or to replace them with less detrimental ones.
Target Audience
Target audience—individuals who frequently prioritize work, studies, or personal life, often neglecting their well-being and fatigue in the process. As a result, they seek a quick hit of dopamine through fast consumption—purchases, food, various practices—yet remain internally depleted.Above all else, they value stability and comfort, as only these feelings offer genuine peace.

Manufacturing Technology
- Prepare the clay. Knead the «Verba» clay without grog until it becomes pliable and homogeneous.2. Form the body. Roll the clay into sheets 5 mm thick, shape the details on a convex soft sponge, and join them to create a closed, voluminous form with smooth walls and a flattened base.3. Form the air channel. Insert a pink stick or a foam insert into the upper part of the body to maintain the channel for airflow.4. Cut the sound slot. Make a longitudinal cut in the body, widen and deepen it, to form a slot for diffusing the airflow.5. Refine the body. Remove excess clay using tools and a scalpel, smooth or rough the surface, and finish the edges of the piece.
Create the play holes. Punch four small, circular holes into the body, arranged along an arc. These will allow for the adjustment of the sound pitch.
Join the parts. If the body is made of two pieces, join them with clay slip and carefully smooth the seam. During this process, ensure the internal air channels are preserved.
Check the structure. Verify that the air channel and the holes are correctly formed and that the body maintains its shape. Test the sound of the piece before firing.
Dry the piece. Let the model dry completely to prevent deformation during firing.
- Perform the first firing. Fire the dried piece in the kiln at 1000°C.11. Apply the decorative coating. Decorate the surface with engobes using a brush or sponge.
If necessary, use blue, brown, yellow, and green colors.12. Apply the glaze. Apply a clear glaze to protect the surface and give it a sheen.13. Perform the second firing. Fire the piece at 1200°C to set the coating.14. Inspect the finished piece. Examine the body, confirm the integrity of the openings and air channel, and check the sound.
Casting Forms
To expedite the production process, universal molds have been developed that can be printed on a 3D printer.
