Total was the first handle I developed with Olivari. I would define it a shared concept. I launched the idea of a geometrical, sharp-edged handle that was almost elementary. They answered with a technological possibility that went on to become the support and the main character of the handle: the absolute absence of a rose.

The Radial handle is an evolution of the preceding Total model, and in a certain sense it is a sister to it. It expresses the same concept and possesses the same technological solution that made the Total a best-seller.

In all probability, the Ice Cube model is the first door handle ever made in polished glass. It is obtained from a sheet of high-tech super-clear glass. As is typical to the visual language employed by Perrault, and thanks to his teamwork here with Lauriot-Prévost, we see a play of simplified volumes. Part of the inspiration came from the clamps used on construction sites to hold together different shapes and materials.

Gloria was born from the research for a simple and elegant shape, adaptable to the multiplicity of living contexts.
Hence the decision to soften the shape by avoiding marked geometric presences and seeking proportion and harmony as a whole.
The handle therefore develops with rounded lines from the hub to the connection with the lever, which continues with more geometric and ergonomic lines.

The choice of the teardrop-shaped section, recurring in the work of Michael Anastassiades, allows Okay to obtain a double result: with the tense floor it highlights the level on which to position the palm of the hand, with the hidden curve allows a comfortable grip.
It seems to me a successful balance of “shape-function”, a door handle with a decisive and contemporary style.

One project is not comparable to the next; it is unique. The situation is unique, the programme is unique, the site is unique, and therefore the idea that drives the design, the force that drives the design, has to be generated around that locus of circumstances. We have a model shop where we build models to test different strategies. In the models, we use materials according to the design concept. The conceptual idea driving the design has a materiality. It’s different for every project.

In their imagining an object functional to the gesture of gripping a lever to trigger an action that transforms the space by opening or closing, Franco Albini and Franca Helg designed a handle with the lightness of a bird’s wing, and the profile of a flower. They travelled a road directed toward the expression of organic shapes. The Agata handle reflects their keen search for a point of equilibrium between one thing and its opposite – between a sensual organic mood and geometric linearity; between solidity and lightness; between a precise graphic mark and the volumetric consistency of the material.

Deurkruk Lama L is ontworpen door de Italiaanse architect Gio Ponti. Kenmerkend voor het ontwerp van deze deurkruk is de geometrische eenvoud van de vorm, die zo dun is, dat hij op een lemmet lijkt (lama in het Italiaans). Geschikt voor een deurdikte van 35 - 48 mm

How to design a handle for a firm of such stature? I started making sketches, but kept them to myself. In the beginning, they were strange ideas, and looking at them, I wondered if I really wanted to produce a handle like that. To tell the truth, no. Maybe the handle does not always have to play the leading role. Maybe it can be understated.
