Shapes Hookah: Redefining the Art of Smoking

A Modern Twist on a Traditional Pastime

Inspired by the desire to revolutionize the hookah experience, Shapes, Forta Group LLC introduces their innovative stainless steel and glass hookah design.

For centuries, the design of the hookah has remained unchanged. However, Shapes believes that it's time to break free from tradition and embrace modern materials and production methods to create a truly unique and contemporary hookah.

The Shapes hookah features a stunning glass jar that is hand blown, resulting in small air bubbles that make each jar one-of-a-kind. The shape of the jar is carefully crafted to maximize the contact area between the smoke and the liquid, ensuring a rich and flavorful smoking experience. Despite its slim bottom, the jar does not require a large volume of liquid, thanks to its optimal depth of 1-2 cm. Additionally, the jar can accommodate two hoses, allowing for a shared smoking experience with a simple valve head replacement.

The tobacco bowl of the Shapes hookah is designed for a longer smoke, while preventing the tobacco from overheating. Made from porcelain-grade ceramics, the bowl ensures that the tobacco does not need to be strained before smoking, allowing every bit of flavor to be enjoyed. Extensive experimentation has shown that materials such as glass and metal cause tobacco to burn much faster.

The air valves of the Shapes hookah are equipped with a screw thread, ensuring a completely airtight seal. The valves can be replaced by a second hose, enabling parallel smoking for a shared experience. The large diameter valves and lightweight plastic balls eliminate the need for manual shut-off of the second hose, making smoking in pairs comfortable and effortless.

The gaslet of the Shapes hookah is designed for optimal heat exchange and is firmly attached to the plate to efficiently dissipate heat to the surrounding atmosphere. The addition of a sprinkler at the tip of the gaslet increases the smoke to liquid contact area by creating smaller smoke bubbles. This results in cleaner, colder, and more humid smoke.

The hose of the Shapes hookah is made from food-grade silicone, ensuring heat resistance, hygiene, and a longer lifespan compared to conventional rubber hoses. Unlike traditional hoses, the silicone hose can be washed numerous times without the risk of rusting or rotting. Furthermore, silicone does not absorb flavors, preventing different tobacco flavors from mixing.

Shapes hookah is crafted using a combination of stainless steel, steel, polymer paint, and glass. Standing at 60 centimeters tall, it is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.

This exceptional design has not gone unnoticed. Shapes hookah was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2013. This prestigious accolade is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Shapes hookah is respected for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive experiences for hookah enthusiasts worldwide.
