The company was founded by five friends in San Francisco and Los Angeles as a side hustle, Session set out “to create moments of indulgence, thoughtfully expressed through permissible vices.” Session Goods Designs With Beauty & Functionality In Mind. Session Goods is a company dedicated to designing products that bring joy to your life (and your next smoke sesh’). The product they’ve released is a modern, sleek glass bong that’s not only easy on the eyes but functional and simple. The inspiration has come from many different places and industries; minimalist architecture, interior design, European glass, fashion, lifestyle brands, the shoes, consumer electronics – pretty much everything outside the smoking accessory market. They are one of the first companies to consider all of the consumer touch-points from branding, product, packaging, and customer service. We were driven to combine all of these elements to cohesively tell a story of simply designed, high-quality products that fit beautifully into a modern home or lifestyle.
Collectively the founders’ education in design has taught the value and meaning of designing for the human experience – how design transcends product, through business, brand and communication – how design can change mindsets and shift perceptions. Their combined backgrounds include Industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, and business. The education we received that ultimately led them to create this company was not discipline specific, but rather a broad understanding of how to utilize the creative process of design to solve any problem, explore all possibilities, and make anything.
This Designer Bong was created to explore the beautiful styling of their modern products by purposefully indulging in stereotypical designer aesthetics of monochromatic black and white. These two contrasts have inspired countless artists, designers and brands and conveys class and refinement. Fashion can be so much more than clothing and accessories. Session Goods new Designer Series intersects fashion and cannabis – two things that are important to many but rarely connected. With thoughtfulness that flows through every fine detail, this matchup is timeless, sleek, and effortlessly trendy. Intersecting fashion and cannabis is a new phenomenon.
The bong embodies these aspects in the details and simplicity of the design. Iconic, yet sleek and subtle in its form with its tapered glass body. It’s approachable in size, and ergonomic with the molded indent and tucked-away downstem. The soft silicone sleeve adds visual texture, dampens the sound when setting it down, protects the glass from damage, and indicates the amount of water for the perfect hit. The packaging feels premium and thoughtful, from the high-quality materials to the extra components for those inevitable accidents. All these design choices add up to the creation of a product that when used feels special and ultimately hygge.
