Design Berlin

Hubert Hartmann founded the company "Pfeifenstudio Hartmann" in 1948, which only since the mid-1970s has been known by the company name db-Design Berlin and has only become known under this name. db is an innovative label that, in large-scale production, created especially modern pipe models with unusual shapes and colors. Thus, it was deliberately aimed at younger pipe smokers.
In the 1980s, "Design Berlin" was purchased by the tobacco manufacturing company Planta and flourished over the following decades to become a firm fixture on the pipe market. However, when the tobacco manufacturing company Planta ceased production in 2019, so did the end of the popular pipes from Design Berlin.

All models are equipped with a 9mm filter chamber, but are also exported to foreign markets where filter smoking is frowned upon. The db models are also popular there thanks to their exceptional and unique design. Lothar Schirwitz has been responsible for this since 1954. In addition, db is known for its double smoke channel, which can often be seen in the transparent acrylic mouthpiece. It is designed to distribute the smoke better in the mouth and keep it dry and cool.
