JEWELER MIANSAI DEBUTS COLLECTION OF SMOKING ACCESSORIES DURING ART BASEL
Although cannabis-themed apparel and “paraphernalia” have always been around, up until recently the aesthetic has owed a lot more to the cobbled-together style of the college dorm room than anything that one might find proudly displayed on a coffee table or well-appointed desk. As “herb” has become legal in nearly half of the United States, though, related accessories have suddenly come under the influence of designers and tastemakers who can lend the pieces that certain je ne sais quoi.
Miami-based jewelry brand Miansai has unveiled its Art of Smoking Collection, in tandem with the Florida city’s international Art Basel festival. The timeless collection strides that fine line between haute design and DIY utility, with a group of replica pipes that pays homage to the golden era of homemade smoking implements. The unique collection embraces the nostalgia of days gone by, capturing the essence of a time when smoking was an art form in itself.
The Can (above): A testament to the rebellious spirit of an era when necessity bred invention, The Can, a replica pipe sculpture, was once discarded and is now a symbol of innovation and style.
The Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Inspired by the simple yet ingenious DIY smoking accessory, The Apple replica pipe sculpture is a tribute to resourcefulness and creativity. Crafted with precision and elegance, this piece embodies the spirit of making do with what’s at hand.
The Pipe: Inspired by the elegance of traditional smoking accessories, this replica pipe sculpture is a nod to sophistication. The classic pipe redefines luxury smoking, combining craftsmanship and style in a way that’s both timeless and contemporary.
The Art of Smoking Collection doesn’t officially go on sale until next summer, but customers can sign up for pre-order today. Prices range from $175 to $200 and will be available on Miansai.com. All pieces are made from 316 stainless steel.
