Mastro de Paja Unica Collection

Italy is home to three significant regions with a high concentration of pipe manufacturers, with the coastal city of Pesaro standing out in particular. Located on the Adriatic coast, not far from the small state of San Marino, Pesaro has developed a reputation for its finely crafted pipes, often featuring elaborate, baroque-inspired designs. Many local workshops collaborate closely with silversmiths, a partnership reflected in the intricate decorative details of their creations.

A leading figure in this tradition of artisanal craftsmanship is Alberto Montini, founder of the brand Mastro de Paja. For over four decades, his workshop has been instrumental in shaping the Pesaro style. As a passionate admirer of the fine arts, Montini is dedicated to ensuring that each pipe he creates is a true masterpiece.

One particularly refined example of his work is the Unica model, which embodies a distinctive and classic character. Defined by clean lines and understated elegance, it appeals to connoisseurs who appreciate balanced proportions and the simplicity of a sterling silver ring. For those who prefer a slightly more playful aesthetic, the bicolour variant offers an appealing alternative.

Strictly limited to just 150 pieces, the Unica represents a perfect fusion of artisanal precision and timeless sophistication.
