20대 여성 흡연자에게 그룹 흡연은 유대감을 형성하는 행위이지만, 흡연 속도 차이로 그룹 내 흐름이 어긋나고 누군가는 타인의 속도에 맞추기 위해 자신의 속도를 조절합니다. 이로 인해 기다리거나 눈치를 보는 상황이 반복되며 미묘한 단절이 발생합니다. 템포는 흡입과 배기 리듬을 빛으로 시각화해 상대의 템포를 직관적으로 인식하고 흐름을 조율하도록 돕습니다. 개인의 루틴은 빛을 통해 공유되며, 서로의 템포를 맞추는 감각적 경험으로 확장됩니다.
For women in their 20s, smoking is more than a habit. It acts as a social ritual that fosters connection. In group settings, differing smoking paces can disrupt the shared flow, creating subtle discomfort as individuals feel pressured to adjust their rhythm. Tempo is an e-cigarette designed to ease this desynchronization. It visualizes each user’s breathing rhythm by letting light rise with inhalation and spread with exhalation, shared through a 360° open-ring structure. This enables intuitive, nonverbal alignment and helps users connect naturally. Tempo adds a visual layer to smoking and turns it into a shared, multisensory experience.
