IIS
Denmark, 1970s
Authoritative sources attribute the authorship of IIS pipes to Karl Erik, a talented Danish craftsman, or to the renowned Preben Holm. In our opinion, this piece was most definitely crafted in the workshop of Karl Erik Ottendahl—the specific type of briar and the meticulous shaping that highlights the grain are clear indicators of his work.
