AbsoleM-plifier

Project published at Kerb Journal 21

Project developed during the course “Sensory Amplifiers“ at Postgraduate Studies Program, Department of Architecture, University of Thessaloniki, Greece, 2013. 

 

AbsoleM-plifier : outdoors smoking device.

The device consists of water pumps, tubes, filtration vessel, pods, waste cup,  ceramic stoppers, tweezers, lighter, tobacco capsules, protection container and equipment outlet, all sewn on a garment. After dipping the tube underwater, pumped water is channeled through the filtration vessel and the main “nargileh” pod. Pumped water can also be channeled to the waste cup or the equipment outlet.  The tobacco capsule is placed on the ceramic stopper, charcoal is lit, then the protection container is placed above the ceramic stopper. The device is ready to use.

Use instructions :

 Wear it.

 Pump water out of the site’s water basins.

 Storage the amount of water, you wish.

 Choose your favourite tobacco taste.

 Place the tobacco capsule on the bowl.

 Light up the charcoal.

 Smoke.

 Wander around smoking.

 Evacuate the device before you secede.

 Storage your wearable “nargileh” until your next visit.
