Description
The Makers Cabinet Stria is an elegant folding ruler made of brass with a brushed finish. It is highly engineered to be an unceasingly intuitive and cherished tool. Featuring both imperial and metric measurements on either side, Stria is perfect for every creative draughtsman.
Stria is inspired by the dovetail joint found in traditional woodworking. Its form is designed for all surfaces. Folded or open, Stria will always settle neatly as you write, measure, or cut. When extended, it lies angled to your page for ultimate ergonomic readability. It consists of two arms that pivot around a dovetail hinge. The hinge is engineered to be ultra-durable. It includes a high tolerance wedge that incorporates grub screws to adjust the friction within the hinge. This allows you to set the perfect resistance for your very own Stria. Tightening the wedge is done with the very special thumbscrew, which can be stowed away securely in your Stria.
Makers Cabinet packaging is paper-based and is 100% recyclable
Makers Cabinet design, manufacture and sell beautiful drawing and writing tools that are built to last a lifetime. Their products use time honoured mechanisms and materials to create objects that wear ‘in’ rather than wearing ‘out’.
The brand’s ‘Høvel’ pencil plane enables you to whittle your pencil perfectly to any desired point. ‘Iris’ is a unique circle drawing tool inspired by camera apertures. Both products are machined from solid brass and then polished to a perfect finish. They patina with time and use; creating heirloom quality tools for creative practice.
Makers Cabinet uses crowdfunding to create the first batch of each product and once in production they are sold from their London Workshop and to specialist shops like The PaintBox.
