As you may have experienced, inspiration sometimes
comes when you don't expect it.
Our models are carefully thought out in our studio, but at times the
magic comes from somewhere else. On the one hand, inspiration
can come as a creative embodied concept - as previously seen in
Utopia. But on the other hand, inspiration can set off with your
mind in a passive state while just enjoying an ordinary moment.
This is what we are dedicating this section to: the exogenous trigger.
The 218 Sokol lever was inspired when walking through the
Sokolniki Park in Moscow, where the falcon hunt of the Grand
Dukes of Muscovy was formerly conducted. The park gained
its name from the Sokolnichya Quarter, the 17th-century
home of the sovereign’s falconers (sokol [сокол] is the Russian
word for falcon). This place was the trigger of this design. The
model was named and designed after those “sokols”. It represents
a minimalist approach of the aerodynamic silhouette of a falcon’s
wing, with rounded edges and firmness.
