Tom Eltang: Rusticated Arne Jacobsen Tobacco Pipe

Tom Eltang is widely regarded as one of Denmark's most influential pipe makers, with his name frequently cited by younger artisans as a key inspiration in their own craft. This particular piece from Eltang is named after the renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen — famous for his contributions to architectural functionalism and his groundbreaking furniture designs. Jacobsen was also a devoted pipe smoker, often favoring a slender, arrow-straight Dublin, much like the design Eltang has brought to life here. This piece captures the essence of both Jacobsen's and Eltang's functional and refined approach to design. Despite its lightweight nature, the bowl features a deep chamber, ideal for longer smoking sessions. The arrow-straight shank and stem arrangement complements the tall, slender bowl, creating a balanced and elegant profile. The stummel is dressed in Eltang's signature dark-stained rustication, save for the rim, left smooth for contrast.
