Ib Berggreen Sandblasted Bent Apple (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Artisan Ib Berggreen has worn many hats throughout his life: cabinet maker, industrial designer, chief designer at LEGO, and now, pipe maker. His rich background in design allows him to craft all kinds of fine smoking instruments, from shape-chart classics to more experimental Freehands. This bent Apple hews closer to the former, yet it presents with plenty of nuance and a distinctly Danish flair. The bowl is petite yet plump, and it perches at the fore of the short, muscular, upturned shank with a subtle forward cant. The shank is joined by a thick-shouldered stem with an inlay of multicolored wood whose grain, much like the smooth, light-stained rim, adds a pop of textural and tonal contrast to the pipe's otherwise dark, smoky sandblast.
