Yorgos Mitakidis Pipes from Greece with Distinct Character

Yorgos Mitakidis represents pipe making that respects tradition while confidently following its own path. In his workshop in Greece, he creates pieces defined by precision, clean lines and a refined sense of design. Nothing is left to chance. Every line serves a purpose, every curve follows a clear concept.

The influence of Scandinavian pipe makers is unmistakable. Organic shapes, balanced proportions and calm, flowing lines bring to mind renowned names such as Ivarsson and Chonowitsch. Shank and bowl transition seamlessly and appear as though carved from a single piece. At the centre of it all remains the natural grain of the briar, carefully worked to reveal its full character.

At the same time, subtle references to classic English pipe brands can be found. High-quality ebonite stems, restrained accents in silver or horn, and established shapes such as Billiard or Dublin create a timeless appearance. This combination of Scandinavian lightness and English tradition gives the pipes an elegant yet understated presence.

What truly sets Mitakidis apart, however, is his uncompromising craftsmanship. Every drilling is precisely positioned, the draw is thoughtfully engineered, and each surface is finished with meticulous care. The result is a pipe that not only looks impressive but performs at the highest technical level. If you appreciate quality, design and genuine craftsmanship, you will find models here that will accompany you for many years to come.
