High-Design Cannabis Accessories To Elevate Your 420

Ditch the pot leaf motifs.

If your smoking tools were purchased in the back of a record store, involve a metal onie, or were procured in an era in which they would have been classified as “paraphernalia,” then it’s time to consider a more refined approach to cannabis culture and the accessories in your arsenal. Because, as the weed industry has gone legit, its aesthetic has also matured. “Good design is always trending, but historically, cannabis consumers had fewer options because buying was dictated by what the corner store had in stock,” notes Esther LeNoir Ramirez, cofounder of Session Goods. “Now, people want their pieces to reflect the mainstream acceptance of cannabis. They want to feel the equivalent experience and pride of investing in nice wine or whiskey glasses. They want their ritual to feel sophisticated, elegant, and mature versus ‘something I did in college.’"

Not to discredit the legions of glassblowers, ceramicists, wood carvers, and other artisans who have turned out gorgeous pieces back when weed was an underground indulgence. Those with Chihuly-an talent are still creating works that are almost too pretty to use. But now, mass manufacturers are leveling up, swapping out psychedelia and pot leaf motifs for sleek products that speak to one’s inner design snob.

Take, for example, Edie Parker’s famous lucite, concrete-and-walnut stash boxes, and even a cast-iron matchstick holder made to look like a cairn have entered the session. What’s more, players from other design-forward industries are getting in on the action. “We have designed cannabis-related products for so many brands outside of the cannabis industry (including in luxury fashion, music, and art), it’s clear that the industry — and design specifically — is going to continue to grow and be a requirement for all brands competing within the space," says Lana Van Brunt cofounder of Sackville & Co, a line of contemporary cannabis accessories and Sackville Studios, a New York-based firm that designs and produces cannabis-related goods. “We anticipate the design trend to continue to grow exponentially as New York comes online to the legal market.”

Houseplant

Pebble Match Strike

$125

Erecting a cairn to signify respect, conjure zen, and as an offering to others has long been practiced across cultures. But lifestyle brand Houseplant has breathed new life into the concept by creating a strike-anywhere, cast iron match holder that triples as an ashtray and sculpture-like home decor — and will have even the most naturalistic of friends drooling.

Sibelley

Scalloped Lady Chillum

$80

Chillims are nothing new, but a design that doesn’t require you place lips directly onto the piece feels made for sharing in a mid-pandemic. This handmade creation, made by veteran LA-based glass blower Sibelle Yuksek employs a unique, reverse-scalloped tubing, 24-K accents and the artist’s keen eye to create an ergonomic work of art it just so happens you can smoke from.

Flower by Edie Parker

Rolling Tray in Stem Fog

$595

Edie Parker lucite gets the cannabis treatment with this rolling tray created by sister brand Flower by Edie Parker. We appreciate the slots for a grinder and finished joints, along with plenty of workspace to roll, but more than anything, it’s the bright-and-cloudy feel that makes this accessory the perfect addition to an avant basic home.

Sackville

Bougie Gilded Grinder

$80

It looks like an objet d'art, but its stacked tiers hide the perfect party tick: all you need to grind flower for a group, thanks to its oversized footprint and extra-wide bowl.

Session

Designer Bong

$200

There are plenty of design features that a seasoned smoker will appreciate in this device, made from women-lead Session Goods: Borosilicate glass vessel (equipped to handle extreme temperature changes) is bundled with multiple bowls and equipped with a silicone footer that takes the nerves out of handling such a delicate piece , while silicone caps keep the piece water tight while on the move. Moreover, the tapered design means no nasty backsplash. But functionality aside, design nerds will appreciate smoked glass tint and styling so sleek, it melds into even the most streamlined of spaces.

Still storing your cannabis in a wadded-up plastic baggie? Allow us to suggest an upgrade: This concrete and walnut stash box features compartments for pipes, vapes, rolling papers, flower and dabs. What’s more, it includes a discreet, (but generously portioned) ashtray.

Burb

Vintage Cannabis Rolling Tray

$25

Fans of classic Hermés ceramic trays will love this ceramic rolling tray, adorned with a vintage diagram of male and female cannabis plants. The best part: it can be had at a fraction of the price.

Miwak Junior

Miwak x Sweetflower Ceramic Pipe

$80

$68

The hangup with most design-forward cannabis accessories? Sculptural aspects and material choices render them either too heavy or too delicate for on-the-go use. But this ceramic cannabis vessel is flat, light, and sturdy enough to fit in a pocket. That doesn’t mean it’s short on design: made by a fine artist (and inspired by Pre-Columbian cultures, the space age, and Japanese design), this handy pipe has all the wabi sabi and organic beauty of a naturally-tumbled river stone.
