La Biota
"Biota: the complex of plant organisms, animals, etc. that occupy a certain space in an ecosystem."
The passion for the pipe was born as a child when I admired his grandfather‘s pipe. I started building them for myself until I reached artistic maturity. Today I produce artisan pipes inspired by classic shapes but reinterpreting them and trying to find new shapes by looking at the Danish style. I also draw a lot of inspiration from nature during my mountain walks.
I use only Italian briar from Tuscany and Calabria and various essences to embellish my creations with inserts.
I especially like using roe deer horns to make some particular models, as I am very attached to the mountain for my origins.
Each pipe is entirely made by hand (I do not use a lathe) and as such is to be considered a unique piece. For coloring use only natural colors and for polishing pure carnauba wax.
