Vela

Vela by pablo lara fernández from mexico

designer's own words:

the project started as a team work but we all came up with very firm ideas and decided do split. some of us developed our ideas on our own and some didn´t.
the sketches showed a clear reference to a boat far on the horizon but were not very realistic, some of the ideas wouldn´t even work as a handle. with this frustration i thought that the best thing to do is to try the handle with my own hands. and so i did.
the manufacturing process would be a stainless steel die casting,( i would only use steel because of its cold metallic color). there are two options for the finish, polished or matte.
