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.’
Having a degree in graphic design and super coolness helps a lot designing beautiful things. Michele outdid him self with this wonderful creation. Very simple – a super tall pick axe with short shank and a green/yellow handmade stem. How hard can it be.
