Drop is an essential, harmonic, and light handle. Like a drop of dew that bends a blade of grass, the sphere of the grip that penetrates the bottom part models the wavy shape that characterizes the handle.

The industrial style associated with the design of this handle is reminiscent of the grip of a technical lock and makes it particularly suitable for spaces inspired by old industrial and commercial structures, such as lofts. A style that is particularly in vogue in metropolises where new architectural developments take over from old industrial areas.

Drop is a product for both exterior and interior doors characterized by a flexure that facilitates ergonomic grip for elderly people or those with limited mobility.
