About Ston Aroma Inhalator

Ston giver dig en sund og opmærksom pause, som et alternativ til rygning og drikke. Nosigner navngav enheden Breather, som en reference til den unikke mindful oplevelse, den giver. Selvom strukturen ligner en elektronisk cigaret, kan du ved at justere luftstrømmen samt andre faktorer opleve noget tættere på en dyb indånding. Dette er værktøjet til at ændre en skadelig pause med at ryge cigaretter til en sund for mentalt og fysisk.

Unique Properties
“ston” provides you a healthy and mindful break, as an alternative to smoking and drinking.
We named the device BREATHER, as a reference to the unique mindful experience it provides. Although the structure is similar to an electronic cigarette, by adjusting the flow of air as well as other factors, you can experience something closer to a deep breath. This is the tool to change a harmful break with smoking cigarettes into a healthy one for mentally and physically.
Production Technology
We took so much time for the appearance of the product. “ston” is a stone-shaped, organically curved, stone-moulded device made of a one-piece aluminium enclosure thanks to a technique called metal squeezing. It is a unique and difficult technique that allows the aluminium to be squeezed to expand inward beyond 180 degrees, with no parting lines. This is all thanks to the high-level production control technology that Japan has developed.
Inspiration
"ston" is a healthy inhalation device that allows you to inhale caffeine and GABA. The lighting pattern also helps regulate the rhythm of the breath. Similar to meditation in Zen or yoga, it helps the mind find balance and be calm, peacefully breathing in and out. Smoking is not only harmful to your body but also bad for the environment since you would have cigarette butts after you smoked it. “ston” offers a special experience that can never be had with a cigarette break.
