Tao
Tao started “Svendborg Pipes” in 1972 together with Poul Ilsted, but since 1981 he has been an independent pipe maker. His unique, handmade pipes have stems of black rubber, artificial amber or Cumberland. The belts are nearly always made of silver, and they form a perfect connection between stem and shank. Tao’s trademark is a serrated arrow. If you are a sailor or just fascinated by the sea, you will look at Tao’s pipes and realize that the two belong together.
