_DAME Award 2013 - Category Winner

The DAME Award Jury 2013 awarded the NOMEN CLIP-cleat the "Category Winner Deck Equipment, sails and rigging"

This is the Jury's statement: Just when you think every variation of a cleat must have been designed, then along comes a very clever and elegant alternative. This cleat features spring-loaded ends that present a smooth profile to avoid snags and injuries when closed but can be pressed aside as you make a line off or release it. The Jury was very impressed with the Clip-cleat, admiring the great balance of this product between function and form and also the quality of the end product.

THE CLASSICAL FROM NOMEN RECEIVES A REINFORCEMENT

The folding mooring cleat from NOMEN is on the market for 10 years. She has got a lot of friends all over the world and has been much awarded by several design prices during the past. The classical NOMEN cleat simply is well known in the yachting world.

Now the NOMEN cleat receives a reinforcement from a younger sister which is completely different but just as much fascinating. The new NOMEN cleat solves all problems - beautiful, strong and simple.

The challenge was to change the cleat from a stumbling block, where all the lines get caught, to something harmonious, as once both beautiful and functional.

The concept
