Designed as a true sculpture, it embodies the ice dragon, guardian of eternal winter, whose crystalline scales seem frozen in frost. Every detail has been crafted to give birth to a shisha that goes far beyond a functional object and becomes a genuine work of art to display.
At the heart of the stem, the cast bronze dragon head asserts its presence instantly. The fragmented scales, finished in a deep blue-grey patina, reveal golden glints reminiscent of light caught in ice. The pale, almost milky eye accentuates the dragon's mystical character and gives the impression that it watches over the room. The rendering is raw, chiselled, almost organic: you can feel the handcrafting and art-foundry work behind every facet.
The tray takes a free-form shape, sculpted like a fragment of frosted rock. Its rugged surface, blending anthracite tones and golden reflections, contrasts with the precision of the brushed stainless steel turned elements. Both functional and decorative, this piece extends the ice dragon's narrative: it looks like a shard fallen from its armour, set there to host the bowl.
The central stem, made of solid stainless steel, alternates rounded bulges and slim rings in the manner of a carved baluster. This highly graphic vertical structure highlights the dragon sculpture set at its centre like a trophy. The whole piece exudes solidity and lends real stability to this 64 cm, 5.2 kg hookah.
The Russian Spirit base in clear glossy glass, with its flared silhouette, showcases the smoke circulation and brings the stem out through contrast. The included polished stainless steel mouthpiece echoes the dragon's design with a central sculpted bronze medallion, featuring the same opalescent eye as the main head. Perfect coherence, from bowl to tip.
The Zimokku ships in an exceptional case whose lid is a genuine painting hand-crafted by a professional artist. A wall mount is built into the back, so you can hang it as a piece of art once the shisha has been unpacked. A rare attention to detail that turns the purchase into a true collector's experience.
Beyond the aesthetics, the Zimokku remains first and foremost a high-end hookah: built-in non-removable diffuser for a smooth draw, hidden purge to preserve the look, black silicone hose and tongs included. The draw is generous, the clouds dense and the flavour rendering particularly precise — ideal for long sessions shared with friends.
El-Badia has been supporting shisha enthusiasts and collectors since 1991. We select the rarest Maklaud pieces and guarantee their authenticity, paired with expert advice and careful delivery across the UK and worldwide.
To showcase the dragon sculpture, place the Zimokku under slightly cool directional lighting: the bluish scales come alive and the golden reflections stand out as in a real block of ice. For the session, opt for a phunnel bowl and a fresh dark blend tobacco to stay true to the piece's "eternal winter" spirit.
