The craftsmanship of the old master boat and yacht builders paired with a keen sense of form and material has always been a source of inspiration. Not only the skilful handling of wood, cordage and canvas, but also the attention to detail in fittings, hooks and other metal parts show how the form created by the function develops an unpretentious elegance. The wealth of forms in this maritime region led to door and window handles for use in apartments and buildings.
