Each figurine has a minimalist, geometric form with gentle curves and a tall sail with a vertical openwork cutout. The surfaces transition from a satin sheen to matte areas, creating a changing play of light and shadow. The figurines come in four different sizes, ranging from 23 to 15 cm in height, maintaining consistent proportions and lines. The one-piece casting without visible fittings or joints ensures a clear finish and stability of display, while the uniform color scheme emphasizes the visual simplicity of the design. Traces of patina and subtle discoloration are visible on the surface of each sailboat, giving the objects an individual rhythm and accentuating the passage of time. The simplified silhouette balances between abstraction and an allusive maritime form, evoking the moment of gently drifting on the water. The set creates an atmosphere of calm and discreet presence, fitting into the language of forms associated with mid-century modern icons. The sailboat figurines work well as an intimate decorative accent on a windowsill, dresser, or tall shelf. They can be paired with ceramic containers, clear glass vases, or linen books to highlight their golden tone and transparency of form. Light backgrounds – marble or bleached wood – and natural daylight will emphasize the depth of the patina and subtle reflections, and in a collection of maritime or retro items, they will add rhythm and lightness to the composition.
