C-PIPE was founded in 2012 in Shanghai thanks to the initiative of Wilson Wang. In his first professional experience, Wilson managed the first pipe atelier in China, welcoming some of the most renowned Danish and Italian craftsmen. With his work he played a fundamental role in spreading and enhancing the culture of the pipe in the country, helping to transform it from a simple smoking instrument to an object of art, worship and collection.
During those intense years, Wilson developed a deep technical and aesthetic knowledge, which he then transfused into his personal production, giving life to pipes with a unique and recognizable character. Over time he expanded his creative network, collaborating with some of the most important contemporary Chinese artists, including Shao Fan, Hu Ke, Shi Jinsong and Zhao Hang.
The meeting between the sensibility artistic talent of these masters and the experience gained by Wilson has led C-PIPE to reach excellent quality standards. Its creations stand out not only for their artisanal care, but also for their ability to move elegantly between classic forms and modern, bold and experimental reinterpretations.
Each C-PIPE pipe is, first and foremost, an authentic work of art.
