La Biota

“Biota: the complex of plant, animal, etc. organisms. that occupy a certain space in an ecosystem.”

My passion for pipes began as a child when I admired my grandfather's pipe resting on the furniture. I started building them for myself until I reached artistic maturity. Today I produce handcrafted pipes inspired by classic shapes but reinterpreting them and trying to find new shapes while looking at the Danish style. I also draw a lot of inspiration from nature during my mountain walks.

I only use Italian briar of Tuscan and Calabrian origin and various essences to embellish my creations with inserts.

I especially like using roe deer horns to create some particular models, as I am very attached to the mountains due to my origins.

Each pipe is entirely handmade (I don't use a lathe) and as such is to be considered a unique piece. For coloring I only use natural colors and for polishing pure carnauba wax.
