Bespoke Étienne LeRoy sheeshas for the regal charm of the east
When we think about the Middle Eastern ancient culture, there are a few things which immediately flood our minds, one of them being the sheesha or hookah. We have previously shown you the Porsche Design hookah pipe, and also Saddam Hussein valuables which went on auction, including his regal hookah pipes. Now a modernized yet regal in design is the Etienne LeRoy sheeshas, which were recently unveiled at the Big Boys Toys Show in Dubai. Similar to what the Swiss are known for in terms of cutting design, this sheesha will be available in a strictly limited edition of 99 pieces in all.
Since Seesha is known as a very integral part of the Middle Eastern culture, it would ideally be suited as a place where a product of this nature could be unveiled. Swiss Designing house Etienne LeRoy used Dubai’s Big Boys Toys Show as the platform to create its new limited edition creation, which will be available in totality of 99 units only, each one bearing the markings beginning ‘1/99’ to ‘99/99’. Though not much about the fabrication is known, but the ornamented designing of the silver patterns on a black base, exude true royalty and symbolism of art from the region. The tapered shaping of the body certainly adds some more to the overall aesthetics of the sheesha.
However, there are options for getting this even more exclusively modified as per buyer’s wishes. That would generally include some more exclusive fabrication of the product. So all those ‘Nawabs’ and ‘Sheikhs’ out there, here is another chance to bring in the middle eastern charm to your indulgences.
