The design that
identifies the function.

The essence of a terse, simple form, an object whose design would be identified with its function.

This project is the result of the encounter between a designer and an architect, and of the desire of the latter to meet the apparently simple but actually complex challenge of designing a handle.

A terse, simple form.

In a sector where everything has been designed already, it was not easy to avoid the pitfalls of over-design or self- indulgence, so during the development of the idea the effort was to rediscover the essential nature of the object through a form that would be as spontaneous as possible.

During the work meetings with Giulio Iacchetti, examining many sketches and the first resin prototypes, we immediately agreed on the overall image and geometry, so we could then concentrate on details like the edges, the curves, the thicknesses, with the aim of reaching the essence of a terse, simple form, an object whose design would be identified with its function.
