Robot

Robot is a door handle designed as a small architecture. The shape recalls a simple profile from which surfaces extend and rotate to give the right grip for the palm and the thumb. A horizontal plane protrudes from the top so the palm can push the handle down, while the main surface extends in two directions to invite the thumb to push forward. Squared shapes and sharp corners let the handle blend with the architectural environment. The handle is made from one piece of brass, offered in polished chrome, satin chrome, satin graphite or matt black enamel finishes.

Punto

Punto is a door handle designed for everyday doors. The form of Punto comes from research into historical handles and their shapes. The proportions follow a constant ratio of one to two, and this relation links all the geometries of the handle. Punto measures 150 by 60 by 50 millimetres. The handle is made by die casting in aluminium or in brass. Aluminium versions are powder coated, while brass versions are polished or chromed. The simplified shape helps the user read at once how the door is opened.

Etile

Etile is a photovoltaic metal roof tile designed for use on many types of buildings. Each module is based on a traditional galvanized steel roof tile and carries five micro photovoltaic panels that generate electricity. The modules measure 1200 by 360 by 30 millimetres and are joined together like ordinary roof tiles, with cable connections hidden under the roof sheathing. The power line is connected to the building power grid. The steel panel can be separated at the end of the product life. Etile adds energy generation without changing the roof structure.

Eazzy Two

Eazzy2 is a tow ball mounted bicycle carrier for cars. Two bicycles of different shapes and sizes can be carried, up to a total load of 40 kilograms. A rapid snap tow ball system allows the carrier to be fitted and removed with one simple snap action. The frame can be tilted so the car boot opens without removing the carrier. An embedded handle, a U shaped guide rail and wheels assist installation, loading and storage. Steel and plastic are used, and robotic welding increases rigidity and reduces vibration and noise.

Foglia

Foglia is a bathroom collection that includes washbasins, toilet pans and furniture. The washbasins curve to follow their connection to the wall and are offered in round and rectangular shapes, with some models placed on a matching countertop. The collection also includes a curved mirror and shelf unit, a mobile cabinet with brake mechanism wheels, an integrated towel holder, a jewelry drawer and a tray. Three color coating options are available. The design is inspired by thin concave surfaces that carry water on the surface rather than inside a volume.
