The
skill of high-quality craftsmen has always led to an increasing exploration
of the potential shapes of iron that man, with imagination and ability,
can impress on iron, giving it value and form.
The iron in its force is a symbol of substance, organization, defense,
emergency. In its ductility it is a symbol of civilization, culture
and research that can bend matter to the service of man.
Large part of civilization originated
in iron; its tradition is part of a self-renewing story. The blow of
the hammer, the slap of the mallet, the fall of the mace is the heartbeat
of the craftsman who marks a shape with his hands on the heated material
that will remain in time. |
