Blacksmith's credo
Functional- often the surroundings of a piece require novel technical solutins.
To achieve that, all the details of the design serve the purpose of the item.

A novel solution was needed for a lockable iron grill door for the only point of access to a wine cellar... In addition to the hinges, the foldable iron grill door contained four moving assembles to make the door easily foldable. Thus, it was not possible to use a traditional forged lock with a tongue. A completely novel lock was developed with two hooks clasped behind the door frame.
