The Bouba-Kiki effect is a famous psychological phenomenon first explored by Wolfgang Köhler in 1929. Participants consistently associated rounded shapes with softer sounds like “Bouba” and angular shapes with sharper sounds like “Kiki.” The experiment became an important example of how humans naturally connect sound, language, and visual perception — making these earrings a fun wearable reference to psychology, linguistics, and design theory.
