About the maker:
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
