The craftsmanship of the old master boat and yacht builders combined with a fine feeling for form and material has been inspiring ever since. 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 elegance without pretense. The wealth of shapes that arose from this maritime area resulted in door and window handles for use in apartments and buildings.
