The Evolution of Smoking Accessories: From Clichés to Designer Objects

The Evolution of Smoking Accessories: From Clichés to Designer Objects

From colorful leaves to sleek accessories: a look back at the evolution of a world long stigmatized, now in full mutation.


For a long time, cannabis accessories suffered from a stereotypical image: garish colors, psychedelic patterns, questionable materials. But things are changing. As attitudes evolve, a new generation of objects is emerging, inspired by contemporary design, minimalism, and functionality. Deciphering an ongoing aesthetic revolution.


1. An aesthetic inherited from the 90s-2000s
Flashy ashtrays, phosphorescent grinders, multicolored boxes: these objects responded to an era when consumption was marginal, even underground. They asserted an identity that went against the grain, but at the cost of excessive visibility and a bad reputation.

2. The arrival of the “tech” style and the refined lifestyle
With the explosion of connected objects and functional design, a new trend has emerged: that of beauty, utility, and discretion. Gone are the days of flashy objects: make way for robust materials, simple shapes, and neutral colors. Rolling Stands and High Boxes now fit into interiors like any other premium accessory.

3. The need for discretion and integration
The modern user seeks to consume fluidly, without breaking with their daily lives. Hence the birth of compact, transportable, but always aesthetic products — like the Cone Case or the Nomad Kit .

4. The object as an extension of a way of life
Today, choosing a smoking accessory is a bit like choosing a Moleskine notebook or designer headphones: an aesthetic, functional, and assertive gesture. This is the philosophy that guides Leafset in the design of its products.


The smoking accessory has changed. From a stigmatized object, it has become a useful item—and sometimes even a collector's item. At Leafset, we believe in this new generation: demanding, responsible, and committed to good deeds.
