Labels: walking stick, cane, luxury walking stick, wooden walking stick, fine walking stick, fine cane, de luxe walking stick, de luxe cane
Produksjetechnology: The walking sticks are produced by fine artisans with regular woodworking machines and techniques, plus a CNC router to shape them and the MDF package. The replaceable tips are made of aluminum and laminated rubber. The aluminum parts are produced in a CNC lathe and anodized in black. The scientific names of the two woods are laser engraved. The walking sticks are finished with tung oil. The oak is FSC certified.
Untwerpútdaging: Very few things are older in the history of humankind than a walking stick. At the present time, it was a real challenge to create something just a little better or slightly different from many many walking sticks. Having said that, I think I have created a walking stick that gathers several qualities: beauty, warmth, discretion, lightness, durability, and good design.
Undersyk: I basically researched on the Internet. I saw thousands of walking sticks/canes before start making my own designs. From the very beginning, I wanted to have a walking stick: (1) of solid wood, (2) pleasant to touch, (3) with a decent tip (4) durable. The walking sticks are made of laminated oak and jacaranda paulista. The purpose: no joins, stability, and strength. The walking sticks have non slippery, replaceable and elegant tips.
Ynspiraasje: I have been making fine furniture for almost 4 decades. Some old clients became my friends, and every now and then asked me to make a walking stick. I made one, two, three, and realized that there is not an actual fine walking stick in the market, in Brazil or abroad. That was my inspiration. The C handle is a classic. The T handle is my design.
Projektdoer: The project started in Sao Paulo in January 2016 and ended in São Paulo in January 2021.
Operaasjestreamferrin: Oak wood is a very special material for the walking sticks: it is strong, beautiful, warm in the winter, fresh in the summer. I have heard from many buyers: "I love my walking stick. When I am not walking with her, I have her on my lap” or “I love to have my walking stick in my hands, even when I am not using it”.
Patinten: The design was registred in IAB - Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil.
