Opposites attract each other.
The IKI handle has a palindromic structural form: the profile in the view from above
is identical to that of the frontal view, but reversed by 180 degrees.
iki
Mario Scairato
and Alessandro Stabile
An elegant, essential form in which the
clean angles generate a mutable volume
that concludes with semi-circular forms
and suggests the proper grip with its frontal profile.
Simple,
sophisticated,
spontaneous
The concept of balance between opposites derived from Japanese philosophy has prompted the designers to choose the name IKI – another palindrome – which means “simple, sophisticated, spontaneous”.
The design of the flat carefully defines warm, tidy and intimate environments characterized by the use of wood in a natural finish and the elegantly contrasting tones.
