Kaloud Wins Prestigious Design Awards

 

 

 

You don't have to take our word for it: The Kaloud Krysalis Eltheria Lucidity is officially a visionary in the design world. 

 

Winning two international product design awards so far this year, the Eltheria Lucidity reinvents the standard Hookah. "The goal was to refresh the design and invent new technology for a product that's been in use for more than 500 years without much in the form of significant improvements in either of those two areas," states Kaloud's founder, Reza Bavar. 

 

"We were inspired to use different elements - crystal, stone, steel, and aluminum to elevate the Hookah from a typically utilitarian function to something designed to be displayed even when not in use and to perform even better than the predecessor Hookahs in the marketplace."

 

It took us nearly five years and countless hours to arrive at the world’s first Krysalis.

 

The Kaloud Krysalis Eltheria Lucidity won a GOOD DESIGN^® award in the category 'Personal Products', as well as bronze medal from the International Design Awards (IDA).
