In Thing: Silver Palm Leaf pipe

The ultimate in hash-related design chic is the Silver Palm Leaf pipe. As slim as a credit card, it fits neatly (and discreetly) into wallets and would fool even the most razor-eyed cop. The work of urban hippies James Hassal and Nick Montefiore, the pipe was recently chosen from thousands of products to feature on BBC2's Design Awards, and has been selling out in the Conran shop and happy hippy huts in coastal towns alike.

'Its name derives from the fact that it's silver, it fits in the palm of your hand, and the inside of it looks a bit like the ribs of a leaf,' Hassal explains. Well, that's all right then. Retailing at pounds 29.95, the Silver Palm Leaf is easy to use, easy to clean, and, above all, easy to conceal . . .
