Door and window handle. Available in five colors and five different metal finishes.

Its construction material is cement, hard and soft at the same time, almost velvety to the touch. The colours are inspired by nuanced earth shades. The style is contemporary with clean lines that reflect and enhance the original choice of the material itself, which is undoubtedly the key feature of this piece of design. The slimness of the rose, the only structural element open to view, makes for a stylish detail. In technical terms, the handle is made in cement reinforced by a steel core that gives solidity to an ad hoc design. The final conical cast wraps around, and conceals, the inner structure to emphasise the purity of the form.
