On one end is a small crevice for placing the weed, with three small air holes in the shape of a triangle that provides an even burn while lighting the bowl. Users inhale the smoke from the opposite end.
"It's important to be delicate and precise when making this form because inconsistency will lead to problems with function," Quick told Dezeen.
