Description from the seller
Vintage Professional Spirit Level – Pevi – Denmark – Beechwood & Aluminum – ca. 1965–1985
This original vintage spirit level from the Danish brand Pevi is a high-quality example of Scandinavian precision tools from the second half of the 20th century. Designed for professional use in construction and engineering, this model is known for its durability, reliability, and accuracy.
The spirit level is built from a solid beech wood core, combined with a robust aluminum profile and inset glass vials. This combination ensures optimal stability, minimal distortion, and long-lasting precision.
Beech wood was widely used in this period for professional tools due to its strength and dimensional stability. In combination with the aluminum frame and the glass levels, this results in an instrument of exceptional quality.
The clean, functional design fits perfectly within the tradition of Scandinavian functionalism: form follows function, without superfluous decoration.
Besides its practical use, this spirit level is nowadays also very popular as an industrial decorative object within a modern, vintage, or loft interior.
Dimensions: L 30 cm x W 5.0 cm x D 2.0 cm
Weight: 215 grams

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
