C-Pipe - n. 5
A piece that perfectly captures the expressive power of C-PIPE and the innovative vision of Wilson Wang, who masterfully transforms functional design into sculptural presence. This Freeform pipe, part of Group 5, stands out for its sharp geometry and bold, architectural silhouette—somewhere between industrial design and contemporary art. The integrated Stand-Up feature is not just practical but essential to the composition, allowing the pipe to rest firmly on any surface like a design object. The wide, flattened bowl is a visual statement in itself, with a striking contrast between smooth flame grain briar on the sides and a boldly sandblasted top, divided by a crisp, clean line that emphasizes the interplay of textures. The black methacrylate stem is cut with precision, aligning seamlessly with the shank to maintain the pipe’s formal clarity. Every element reflects structural discipline, artistic intent, and rare originality—a pipe made for discerning collectors who value uniqueness as much as technical excellence.
