Struck by those words, Arslan, having returned from Varese, immediately set about “stripping” the Goddess of everything, except the dress, leaving only the front wheel to her perfect forms. She was turned into the axis of rotation of the handle. «This intuition – continues the designer – was followed by a week of research and drawings. Then, to achieve the proportions in balance between elegance and ergonomics, paper, plasticine, polystyrene and finally wooden models were followed to create the master for casting». Times were very quick to accommodate the enthusiasm of the Bertoni Association and Mandelli. «I worked exclusively by hand, driven by the desire to pay a real tribute to Bertoni and his history as a sculptor-designer. The sculptural approach was suggested to me by the very nature of the handle project, which I believe achieves the most effective result by passing exclusively through the hands. The delicate point was to find a synthesis of the lines of the DS, removing everything possible, without losing the “wonderful nucleus” as Bertoni called it. After the phase of study and sculpture of the volume, several casting tests were needed to arrive at the ideal solution that avoided the shrinkage and imperfections typical of the process and which subsequently allowed to obtain a perfect smoothing and polishing. The last phase of the manufacturing involved the study of the drilling of the seat for the pin, the turning of the same and the assembly».
