What? IKEA smoking pipes? That Swedish company that sells inexpensive furniture with funny names? Yes! A member of the Dutch/Belgian Pipe Smokers Forum works there and he saw a picture on the IKEA museum site with smoking pipes! Of course I could not resist asking the museum if they knew where the pipes came from..
Hi Arno!
Thank you for your email. The pipes were sold at IKEA during the 1940s 1950s, they were not of our own make but from other suppliers and sold via mail order. I’m afraid we do not have a list of the suppliers but please see attached image from the mail-order catalogue from 1950 were pipes were sold.
Kind regards Moa
