La Biota pipes are made by Michele Sottocasa (b. 1983) in Turin, in the north of Italy. Having previously studied photography and graphic design, Sottocasa worked as a graphic designer and art director before becoming a pipe maker in 2013. Sottocasa is a member of Italy’s Accademia della Pipa.

Sottocasa’s interest in pipes began in childhood, as his grandfather had been a pipe smoker. Sottocasa later became a pipe smoker himself, with his first forays into pipe making being through the crafting of his own smoking instruments. It was not until he felt that he had “reached artistic maturity,” that Sottocasa began making pipes for others. The name chosen by Sottocasa for this new venture into artisan pipe making was ‘la Biota.’

A compact and intense design where the coloring is essential. The dark brown bowl and the pale middle decoration, works perfectly with the wonderful light brown Cumberland stem. Its easy to see that a skilled designer composed this construction.
