Born
& Raised in Moscow, Russia, Alexey Florov developed his skills working as a  restorer
in a museum of antique furniture. During this time, he learned about wood
as a material and how to develop it into the desired shapes he wanted to create.
He also learned many other skills including how to operate machinery and how to
work with many other materials such as plastics, stone, and metals. In
1992, Alexey moved to the United States of America and has been working as a
prototype designer and model maker for a number of premier firms. However,
he missed the intimate experience of holding natural wood in his hands. In
the Spring of 2004, his father in-law dared him to carve a pipe, and soon after,
Alexey began producing many pipes for friends and family in the USA. In
Russia, Alexey's pipes have caught the attention of many collectors and
pipesmokers, and his background in design has enabled him to create unique works
of art. Alexey uses only the finest aged briar and materials for his
pipes, and they are superbly crafted in designs and shapes from his vision.
"My goal is
to bring the beauty of the wood through the pipe and deliver the joy of smoking
it." - Alexey Florov
