Denver is a handle with a modern style, characterized by a slender grip that combines visual lightness and ergonomics. The essential design, achieved by subtraction, introduces a measured dynamism that makes the form contemporary and recognizable. Mounted on a square rosette of traditional design, Denver maintains a strict geometric balance, dialoguing with architectures characterized by a clean, controlled language.
Thanks to a careful and meticulous work of subtraction, Denver is a handle characterized by a form reduced to the bare minimum, as Ponti had already achieved with the Lama model.
