Three-wheel Vehicles & Purposeful Design
A different kind of open road.

Historic Motorcycles & Engineering Identity
The engine in the silhouette.
The original Moto Guzzi V7 Sport puts its engine at the centre of a spare, recognisable form. Understanding which V7 Sport matters more than repeating the model name.
Accessible Motoring & Historical Engineering
The design brief that became a car.
The Citroën 2CV made comfort and simple transport the point. Its enduring appeal begins with the problem it was designed to solve.
Sailing & Mission-fit Design
The boat that can choose its depth.
The Pogo 30 connects an energetic sailing brief to a lifting-keel option. Its interest lies in matching a boat to the waters and people who will use it.
Everyday Mobility & Useful Engineering
The machine that lowered the threshold.
The 1958 Honda Super Cub C100 made ease of use a serious engineering brief. Its design is more revealing than its production numbers.
Sailplanes & Training Machines
Two seats for a skill that stays.
The ASK 21 is a training sailplane. Its interest extends from the aircraft itself to the people who learn to fly together in it.
Roadsters & Restoration Support
The car and the route back.
The first Mazda MX-5 has something more useful than a nostalgic following: a documented factory restoration story. Its limits matter too.
Folding Kayaks & Portable Boats
A boat that can come apart.
The Klepper Aerius separates a boat into a frame and a skin. That changes both how you keep it and what may be possible when one part wears out.
Scooters & Everyday Mobility
The gear change is part of the story.
The Vespa PX is more than an Italian silhouette. Its manual controls and steel body give a familiar form a specific mechanical identity.
Small Sailing Boats & Class Communities
The value of staying in class.
The Nordic Folkboat offers a different ownership idea: a modest sailing boat supported by shared rules, accumulated knowledge and people who keep using the design.
Bicycles & Personal Mobility
The bicycle that travels between journeys.
The Brompton C Line makes a persuasive case for judging a vehicle by what happens when you stop riding it.
Classic Cars & Engineering
The Citroën DS still asks a different question.
The DS made comfort an engineering ambition. A surviving example only keeps that promise when the less photogenic work has been done.
