WEED?D Sculptural Bongs Display a Different Approach to Cannabis
Milanese designers reimagine the classic smoking instrument as WEED'D objects you'll want to openly leave out on display between sessions.
If you need further proof cannabis culture is no longer content hiding itself away in a corner, look no further than Simone Bonanni Studio’s effort, WEED’D ? a limited, three-object collection of “smoking design objects” made in Italy that sits somewhere between smoking tools and sculptural objects intended to be openly and proudly displayed.
Founded as a spin-off of WOOD’D, the trio of ceramic bong designs launched across selected retailers in Italy, France, and Switzerland (unsurprisingly) on April 20th, World Cannabis Day. Designed by three members of Simone Bonanni Studio’s team ? Simone Bonanni himself, Valerio Sommella, and Maddalena Casadei ? each designer took on the task of reimagining the classic smoking instrument as tools to communicate it’s time to “slow down, relax, and take a break from the hectic pace of modern life.”
With a portfolio represented by the likes of Alessi, MOOOI, MDF Italia, and FIAM, the trio of designs for WEED’D combine colorful hues with industrial-influenced shapes, a nod to the city’s manufacturing history and fashionable reputation.
