We obsess over what you touch. That’s why we went to Lake Orta - to spend time with the master craftspeople behind Zucchetti’s Helm. Not for a showroom tour, but for the slow work. Engineers setting tolerances by hand. Finishers tuning the arc of water. People deciding how a mixer should feel the instant it lands closed.

Brushed stainless doesn’t become precise by accident. It’s machining paths, buffing passes, and judgement at every station. We handled parts at multiple stages and understood why some hardware looks tired after two winters while others wear in with character. Helm is the latter: grain aligned, edges softened at touch points, a valve that closes decisively.

This matters at Elysian because our promise is quiet, exacting luxury that lasts. The fluted geometry resonates with our façade; the fingertip feel matches our standard for joinery and doors, the finish holds its own alongside Tundra Light marble and European oak.

Factories are often described as machines. What we filmed was a team. People who can hear when a finish is right, and who know by hand when a ridge needs one more pass. That ethos runs from Lake Orta to Parnell.
