Meduse Experience: A New Wave in Shisha Design

Jakub Lanca's Innovative Design Revolutionizes Traditional Shisha Experience

In a world where traditional shisha pipes dominate, designer Jakub Lanca brings a breath of fresh air with the Meduse Experience. This innovative design, inspired by the elegant organic lines of underwater sea life, offers a unique and elevated smoking experience, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

The Meduse Experience stands out from traditional shisha pipes by maximizing the glass proportion and uplifting the functional area to eye level, uncovering the interesting processes that take place in the pipe such as bubbling, smoke flow, and the play of lights. This design choice not only enhances the visual experience but also brings the traditional concept of smoking a water pipe to a new and higher level.

One of the unique features of the Meduse Experience is the use of real fruit pieces inside the glass corpus for cocktails, a concept that has never been done before. This innovative approach enhances the smoking experience not only visually but also significantly affects the final taste, with some cocktails dynamically changing their taste during the smoking session.

The Meduse Experience is not just about aesthetics and taste. It also incorporates a lot of innovative functional parts, including custom-made connectors with glass socket joints equipped with swivel, a simple system of check valves and an air exchange valve, and a special system of upper and lower stainless steel filters for the placement of tobacco and charcoal, replacing the traditional use of tin foil.

The design also offers a wide range of sizes and accessories for easy everyday service, handling, and maintenance. It uses only noble, durable, and health-friendly materials in production, and each piece is handcrafted, giving it a stamp of originality and exclusivity. The unique experience from smoking is further enhanced by lights reacting on audio signals, adding another layer of sensory experience to the smoking session.

The Meduse Experience is not just a product, but a testament to Jakub Lanca's vision and innovation. It is a design that pushes the boundaries of traditional shisha smoking, offering a unique and elevated experience that is both visually stunning and functionally superior. It is no wonder that this design was awarded the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2014, a recognition given to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom.
