At once poised and organic, the Cherrywood is a classic Becker shape that has become a staple of the marque under both Paolo and Federico Becker. The piece sits solidly, but the forward cant of the bowl prevents the composition from feeling heavy, instead imbuing the pipe with a sense of forward momentum. The wasp-waisted shank adds yet another dramatic flare.

The shape is rendered in Strawberry wood, which has the advantages of being both lightweight and of producing a visually and tactilely interesting sandblast.
