With Le Nuvole line, founded in 1996, Maurizio Tombari would like to offer a fine artisanal product, coupled with the perfection of the execution and a personal and innovative formal research. This is done by melding long experience matured in the Pesarese workshops with the "uncontaminated" creative vision of his wife, Stefania, his partner for the stylistic designs.
Ambitious conductor theme "Ambizioso tema conduttore": joining functionality and elegance.
A particular concession to the fantasy of the shapes and a digression from rationality, is reserved for the ZED line of pipes, an exiguous series of exclusive and numbered models.
Maurizio produces 230 pieces per year; each piece is realized with the same meticulousness and care of details.
The ageing of at least 3 years of the briar (from Calabria and Tuscany), stored in an insulated room, plays a vital role in the smokability and the 'flavour' of the pipes. The special processing and finishing of the methacrylate(acrylic) mouthpieces ensures a perfect "suitability" of the pipe.
Maurizio Tombari was born in Pesaro in 1953 and received a diploma in painting at Accademia di Belle Arti in Urbino in 1978.
Since then until 1996 he worked for pipe makers Mastro de Paja and Ser Jacopo. At the same time, he was an interior designer and he took part in painting exibitions.
