Working tool - Geometer's Stadia

Geometer's stadia (or topographic sight) from antique wood, formerly used for topographic surveys together with instruments such as the theodolite. It extends up to 5 meters and, when closed, measures 2 meters. This vintage geometer's stadia has a strong graphic impact and a tactile warmth that make it a perfect object of art and design. Thanks to its pronounced verticality and the charm of aged wood, it fits ideally into several interior styles. 1. Industrial Style and Urban Loft It is its natural habitat. The pairing of vintage work tools and raw materials enhances the industrial aesthetic. How to place it: Resting directly against a exposed brick wall or beside a wrought iron and dark wood bookshelf. 2. Modern Rustic and Farmhouse The patina of aged wood and the two-tone numbering (black and red) create a warm and geometric contrast in spaces that celebrate natural materials. How to place it: Perfect in an entry area or a hallway, perhaps mounted vertically on the wall to fill narrow, tall corner spaces. 3. Eclectic / Vintage Modern In modern antiques settings, a technical piece like this serves as a statement piece (focal element), breaking the linearity of contemporary furnishings. How to place it: Hung horizontally above a sofa or a low mid-century credenza, used as if it were a sculptural painting. Main features Material: Aged wood with a printed graduated scale. Numbering: Red numbers and black ticks for reading distances and elevations. Use: A professional measuring instrument historically used by geometers and engineers.
