signature shapes
I draw my inspiration from everyday things. It could be an interesting curve on a piece of furniture, or an object that happens to catch the eye on the dining table. This has led to the design of several pipes that I would count as my own creations — the Signature Pipes. These are both original shapes and interpretations of existing ones.
I would like to introduce some of these and their origins.For me, sketching is a central part of creation. Sometimes I retreat to the library for hours studying masters of design and architecture to try to come up with ideas. Even a quick drawing is a good way to capture a concept — and my pipes all come with the sketch I used to create it.
Cuban
As a designer, you often find pleasure in small details of everyday objects. In this case it was a filigree liqueur glass. A few sketches later, not much was left of the glass, but a new shape was born. The name refers to the shape of a (Cuban) cigar.
