From time immemorial in the East, hookah was considered a sign of wealth and affluence. For smoking, a separate room was usually allocated in the house, the design of which created all the conditions so that you could not only relax, but also feel your superiority over others. Nowadays, artsy drawing in the national style and elegant forms are partly a thing of the past. They were replaced by the high-tech style with its rigorous design and clear lines. This is what Shapes hookah looks like.
Product information
Looking from the side on this device, it is not immediately possible to guess what it is intended for. Most people imagine smoking apparatus in the form of elegant designs, as if descended from the pages of oriental tales. In modern apartments, such devices are unlikely to find a suitable place. This is what prompted Moscow entrepreneurs 5 years ago to create a new brand. True, the Shapes hookah they created does not look quite ordinary in appearance, but this does not detract from its merits. It looks spectacular in any room and perfectly complements the modern interior.
Its design is not quite ordinary and includes several basic details:
- flask:
- bowl:
- valve;
- stand;
- hose;
- mine;
- backlight.
Not quite a familiar set. The flask is made by glass-blowing specialists exclusively by hand and has an unusual shape, sharply narrowed downwards. This allows you to well control the level of contact of the tube with the liquid. The shaft is firmly connected to the saucer, which plays the role of an additional heat exchanger. The ceramic bowl and silicone hose are, in principle, similar to the same parts of other models. The valve is screwed and can be easily replaced depending on the number of smokers. A stand is what sets Shapes hookah apart from the rest. It seems as if he is floating in water or floating in the air. And with the help of the original lighting, Shapes hookah resembles a space object.
Public opinion
Many people have a question about why the device is named Shapes. Hookah (reviews about it and an unusual design fully correspond to this) amazes with its geometry. In Russian, the name of the company sounds like “Art of Shapes”. Indeed, the speaking name. After all, it is a real art to make the device of the simplest form as functional as possible. There is no complexity and pretentiousness in it.
The sleek design of the stand in the "modern" style is equipped with special protrusions for attaching mouthpieces. This gives you the opportunity to hang the hose in between smoking without twisting it on the hookah. There are no extra holes in the ceramic bowl where the liquid could drain, so the tobacco always remains moist and burns much more slowly. A collapsible shaft makes it easy to transport the device, and convenient packaging makes it possible to take it with you at any time.
A revolutionary solution to the design can be considered a backlight, which is a small device that runs on three batteries. It is located under the bulb and illuminates it with different colors, seamlessly turning one into the other. From the side it looks very impressive. It remains to add to this good traction and three types of design (Basic, Darth, Aqua). Any of the proposed options can be considered a successful acquisition.
Good news
Shapes designer hookah made a lot of noise among the true connoisseurs. Even more talk caused a new model Primo. She does not at all look like an ordinary hookah.
From the side, the device is more like a luminous coffee maker. But in this device there are several interesting details that deserve special attention:
1) The flask is an ordinary glass cylinder. This decision was revolutionary.
2) On top of the flask is a lid, which consists of two metal plates. They are disks of different diameters and are located one below the other, thereby providing cooling of the smoke.
3) At the end of the tube there is a special diffuser. Thanks to him, the hookah works much quieter and smoke interacts better with water.
4) A special design bowl is included. It provides a screen that prevents the coals from falling down, and also eliminates the need for foil. However, bowls from other models of hookahs are also perfectly suitable for him.
The only drawback of the novelty can be considered too thin a hose that does not allow smoking with the desired ease. But in this regard, everyone has their own opinion.
