Sesa Pipes
== '''Point of view''' ==

My name is Branko Sesa. I was born in Croatia in 1962 and I've lived and worked in Torino in the last fifteen years. I've crafted wood since I had been in my country but here, in Italy I realised my long standing desire to construct pipes.


Mi chiamo Branko Sesa. Sono nato in Croazia nel 1962. Negli ultimi quindici anni vivo e lavoro a Torino. L'interesse per il legno l'avevo giá nel mio paese, peró qui ho realizzato il desiderio di produrre le mie pipe.
Right from the beginning, nine years ago I had the luck to meet the big craftsman and maestro Mauro Gilli that with his precious advice has led me into the art of the craftsmanship. Curious by nature I have tried myself with different essences like root briar, lemonwood, olivewood, cherry wood and black oak.


Giiá all' inizio ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere Mauro Gilli, noto artigiano torinese che mi ha introdotto ai segreti del mestiere. Sono per natura curioso e mi sono cimentato con diversi materiali: radica, limone, ulivo, corbezzolo, ciliegio e morta. Ho continuato a lavorare con la radica, l'ulivo e la morta, perché piú resistenzi, saporiti e belli.
I continued to make pipes made of root briar, olivewood and black oak according to their resistance, taste and the fulfilment of their aesthetic criteria. I also make mouthpieces out of different materials, mostly methacrylate, but if the shape, the lines or the colour of the wood require it I also use ebonite, cumberland or amber. In the craft I tend to free forms, probably it would be better to say : sculpture pipes, So in this last period I make "fossil" pipes out of root briar and "ship" pipes out of black oak.


Produco anche bocchini di diversi materiali. Prevalentemente uso il metacrilato, ma se la forma, la venatura o il colore lo richiedono, uso anche l'ebanite, il cumberland o l'ambra.
In the case that the "materia prima" (raw material) has a particular and nice grain I tend to more simple, almost classic forms. I dedicate a special care to every detail in both the classic and the "sculpture" pipes. This is the reason for which my year production of pipes is limited to 40 / 50 pieces. With every new pipe I tend to improve the technical realisation.
Stilisticamente, le mie preferenze sono per le forme libere "freehand", o per meglio dire, per le pipe "sculture". Cos�, ultimamente produco dalla radica le pipe "fossili", e dalla morta le pipe "navi".


Nel caso in cui la "materia prima" abbia la venatura particolarmente gradevole preferisco le forme classiche. Dedico la massima attenzione ad ogni dettaglio indistintamente che si tratti delle "sculture" o delle forme classiche. Questo é il motivo per il quale la mia produzione annua non supera i cinquanta pezzi. Con ogni pipa cerco di migliorare la realizzazione tecnica. Sul piano creativo il mio scopo é quello di creare un riconoscibile stile personale che sia in armonia con la leggerezza con la quale si fumano le mie pipe.
On the creative side my aim is to realise a distinguishing personal style that has to be in harmony with the easiness with which my pipes are smoked.

Point of view


My name is Branko Sesa. I was born in Croatia in 1962 and I've lived and worked in Torino in the last fifteen years. I've crafted wood since I had been in my country but here, in Italy I realised my long standing desire to construct pipes.

Right from the beginning, nine years ago I had the luck to meet the big craftsman and maestro Mauro Gilli that with his precious advice has led me into the art of the craftsmanship. Curious by nature I have tried myself with different essences like root briar, lemonwood, olivewood, cherry wood and black oak.

I continued to make pipes made of root briar, olivewood and black oak according to their resistance, taste and the fulfilment of their aesthetic criteria. I also make mouthpieces out of different materials, mostly methacrylate, but if the shape, the lines or the colour of the wood require it I also use ebonite, cumberland or amber. In the craft I tend to free forms, probably it would be better to say : sculpture pipes, So in this last period I make "fossil" pipes out of root briar and "ship" pipes out of black oak.

In the case that the "materia prima" (raw material) has a particular and nice grain I tend to more simple, almost classic forms. I dedicate a special care to every detail in both the classic and the "sculpture" pipes. This is the reason for which my year production of pipes is limited to 40 / 50 pieces. With every new pipe I tend to improve the technical realisation.

On the creative side my aim is to realise a distinguishing personal style that has to be in harmony with the easiness with which my pipes are smoked.
