Display case - Marine Design - Wood, Brass - Steering wheel

It is a marine-design piece made of wood and brass, and it clearly belongs to that decorative tradition of the second half of the 20th century that reinterpreted ancient nautical instruments in a domestic, careful, almost sculptural key. Here the wood — warm, polished, with visible grain — acts as body and support, while the brass introduces the technical accent, that golden shine that immediately references the nautical world.

The structure is organized around a central axis topped by a turned handle, crowned by a brass ring that functions as a small nod to maritime hardware. On both sides, the two semicircular shapes recall mechanisms of rotation or steering wheels, as if they were an abstraction of the systems that regulated sails, ropes or hatches. It is not a literal reproduction, but a stylized interpretation, an object that takes the language of naval engineering and transforms it into decorative design.

The wood, worked with precision, has that finish that blends craft and modernity: smooth edges, well-sanded surfaces, a varnish that enhances the color without concealing the material. The brass, for its part, provides contrast and character, evoking navigation instruments, compasses, sextants and all of that technical universe that forms part of the maritime imagination. The overall effect conveys balance, solidity and an air of a captain’s office piece or a sailor’s study.

It is, essentially, a nautical decorative object — a small fragment of a ship turned into a domestic sculpture — that preserves the sober elegance and functionality of mid-20th-century Nordic and European design.
