[QUOTE="Ocelot55, post: 250206, member: 2387"] For me, the beauty of classic shapes is that form follows function. The two concepts are inextricably tied together to create something that is not only beautiful, but performs its job extremely well. When we get into crazy designs, the likes of Wallenstein and Tarrock, function takes a backseat to form. Aesthetics dominates the composition and we see the pipe become more of a piece of sculptural art rather than an instrument for the efficient smoking of tobacco. There are, however, exceptions to this framework. Consider for a moment the great two chambered double calabash pipes, whose odd appearance revolves around its function, or even some of Wallenstein's pipes that are designed to cradle easily in the teeth of the smoker. Just my two cents, so take it with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
