The main reason was the "fancy pipes" had become very popular, and Larsen's of Lillehammer had nothing to offer there. Something had to be done and two steps were taken. In the middle of the 1970s the Danish company Kriswill was bought, and in that way they obtained access to that company's more modern shapes. A new designer was also employed, but these efforts were not sufficient, and in the 1979 the factory closed. | [[File:Lillehammer SmoothBilliardSH.jpg|thumb|Smooth Billiard, courtesy [http://smokershaven.com SmokersHaven.com]]]Problems at the factory began again at the end of the 1960s, when sales slowed dramatically.
