Inspired by the telescope built by Galileo in 1609, this contemporary instrument copies the original form, focal length (1 meter) and construction material.
The joint that the telescope is centred around has been designed in such a way to provide a clean and simple result in terms of form while at the same time being fully able to ensure that the telescope can be pointed correctly and fixed in any position.
The use of wood for the tube is not only a return to the original construction material but also an effort to give a "friendly touch" to an otherwise rather cold and technological object.
Modern optical technologies make this telescope perfect for quality astronomical observation. This versatile instrument permits observing the moon, the major planets, and other celestial bodies scattered through the solar system, and is also a powerful earthbound spyglass.
A novel, original object that bridges past and present; a contemporary reinterpretation of timeless form and function.
