The Maklaud Project 25 Ilon Mars shisha, a new chapter of the Project collection
The Project 25 Ilon Mars opens a new chapter in Maklaud's prestigious Project line. Limited to just 100 units, it fits squarely into the science-fiction and space-conquest universe the brand cherishes, while fully embracing a purely artistic dimension. Each piece is numbered and delivered in a dedicated case, designed both for transport and for showcasing the object.
A sculpted astronaut monkey, the central artistic element
At the heart of the stem, a monkey bust in a spacesuit takes centre stage: chiselled bronze face, helmet with viewport and metal armour engraved like a futuristic spacesuit. The detailing is striking: rivets, panels, technical plates, expressive gaze... All of Maklaud's artistic signature is here, on the border between sculpture, science fiction and metalwork. The side purge, integrated at the back of the suit through a golden tube and a transparent hose, extends the visual narrative right into the functional details.
A laser-engraved "Martian base" tray
The circular tray in brushed stainless steel is treated like a true exploration map. Its surface is engraved with technological motifs – circuits, tracks, modules – along with the inscriptions "Ilon Mars", "Maklaud" and "100 copies", which underline the exclusive character of the edition. A mechanical bronze rosette set on the tray serves as a removable artistic purge and echoes the futuristic codes of the piece.
A stainless steel stem with architectural lines
The stem, machined from solid stainless steel, alternates cylindrical segments and sculptural rings reminiscent of a futuristic balustrade. This perfectly symmetrical turned work showcases the sculpture of the astronaut monkey set at its centre. The whole piece exudes robustness and mechanical precision, fitting for a hookah measuring 65 cm and weighing 4.9 kg.
A signature mouthpiece, designed like an electronic module
The polished stainless steel mouthpiece supplied with the piece picks up the graphic codes of the Project line. Its central area is dressed with a patinated bronze sculpture depicting a printed circuit board in relief: tracks, capacitors, stylised micro-components. The "Maklaud" signature is engraved into the material at the top. A standalone object that extends the visual experience all the way to the lips.
Russian Spirit base and premium finishes
The clear glossy Russian Spirit base, with its flared silhouette, highlights the movement of the smoke and adds a touch of purity that balances the highly technical look of the stem. The built-in non-removable diffuser softens the draw, the hidden purge preserves the overall aesthetic, and the supplied black silicone hose ensures a neutral session with no flavour transfer.
A luxury case for a true collector's piece
The Project 25 Ilon Mars ships in a signature pinewood case adorned with bronze details, designed to protect the piece and reflect its status as a collector's item. Ideal for transport, long-term storage, or simply to offer this shisha in conditions worthy of its exclusive character.
A session worthy of a collector's piece
Beyond the sculpture, the Project 25 Ilon Mars remains a true high-end shisha: generous draw, dense clouds, faithful flavour rendering. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want to enjoy a premium session while displaying a genuine Maklaud-signed work at home, perfect for a living room, a lounge or a collector's display case.

Expert tip
Showcase the Project 25 Ilon Mars under slightly directional lighting: the astronaut monkey's suit catches the light like a precision metal object, while the engravings on the tray stand out in relief. For the session, opt for a phunnel bowl with a dark blend tobacco to stay true to the "space exploration" mood.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that your shisha lasts as long as possible and always provides a pleasant experience. Here are a few tips to keep your shisha in top condition:
- Cleaning after each use
Rinse the vase in hot water immediately after use. Use a special shisha brush to remove any residue. Also clean the body of the shisha with a special brush designed specifically to reach hard-to-reach areas. Find our different shisha cleaning products and shisha brushes here.
- Deep cleaning
For a more thorough clean, we recommend using EL-BADIA SHISHA CLEANER Powder. This powerful solution offers several benefits: it effectively removes stubborn stains, unwanted odors and lime deposits. It disinfects your hookah for a more hygienic experience and makes your hookah shine, restoring its original shine.
To use Shisha Cleaner, dilute two teaspoons of powder in 1 litre of hot water. Immerse your shisha parts in this solution for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. This method ensures thorough cleaning and optimum disinfection of your shisha.
- Maintenance of the various parts
Firebox: Empty it after each use and clean it with a sponge and liquid soap.
Pipe: Make sure it is washable, then rinse it with water and shake it to remove any residue.
Seals: Simply rinse with water, or soak briefly in soapy water if necessary.
By following these regular maintenance tips, you'll considerably extend the life of your shisha while guaranteeing quality sessions every time you use it.
