Legendary Pipes From Former – Danish Design For Connoisseurs

Ask pipe enthusiasts about well-known names from Denmark – Hans “Former” Nielsen is guaranteed to be among the very first mentioned. For more than 60 years he has been active as a pipe maker and, with his label Former Denmark, has decisively shaped the classic style of Scandinavian pipes.

His approach is simple and ingenious: the natural grain of the wood determines the shape. This results in one-of-a-kind pieces with character that impress not only with their design, but also with perfect functionality.

As a mentor to numerous renowned pipe makers and with an uncompromising eye for quality, Former has built a worldwide reputation. His pipes are among the most sought-after collector’s pieces in the scene.
