My name is Daniele Carbini and I make handmade pipes in a small laboratory in Tempio Pausania, in the town of Alta Gallura in Sardinia. The brand I produce is Alinetu.
Via Salerno, 13 07029 Tempio Pausania Sardegna Italia
Born in Tempio Pausania on 17 October 1972, I graduated in philosophy in Urbino, where I followed a path of study related to philosophy and art. My passion for the art of pipe smoking has grown over time, along with me and my passion. I am talking about 1990, the year in which I discovered this wonderful world. Since then, I have been cultivating this passion and a few years ago I started making my first pipes myself. I started by teaching myself and studying various specialized literature on the world of pipes, while also receiving valuable advice from some friends and great smokemakers. Later, I was fortunate enough to enter the workshop of a world-class pipe maker like Mimo Romeo and received important courses in pipe making techniques. In 2017, I started my own workshop. My pipes are made strictly by hand. I use quality briar from Mimmo Romeo and the mouthpieces I make are made from whole ebony and Cumberland NewYorkHamburger to start with. For over a year now, I have given up using methacrylate altogether. I have found an extremely exciting artistic challenge in the pipes. Respect for science and rigour in achieving perfect smoke mechanics. Seeking function in a unique design I express my creativity by constantly searching for personal lines that give each of my pieces a sense of elegance, lightness and harmony. I find this synthesis to be an extraordinary artistic challenge. Ultimately, a pipe must be beautiful and well made, very well made. This is what I look for in every pipe: beauty. Although I have only been doing professional pipes since the end of October 2018, I have been fortunate enough to appear on the resale website www.lepipe.it, as well as in several professional resales. I was also featured in Diego Morin's book "Pipes. The Best Italian Brands". A lot of my work is through commissions, trying to establish a direct relationship with my clients.
