  • Catalogue Essay

    2012 is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Azimute, the world-renowned French model-making workshop (now defunct), always paid close attention to the reproduction of the smallest details on their ship models. Each model was painstakingly constructed one slat at a time, and special attention was paid to the stairs, lifeboats and other deck accessories and fittings. The hull received 15 layers of varnish; each layer was sanded, creating a perfectly smooth finish.
