Ice Cube is a contemporary designer door handle that combines metal and technical crystal super-transparent in a rigorous and innovative balance. The crystal, ground from slab, becomes a structural element and not merely decorative, dialoguing with the metal hub through essential volumes and highly precise connections. The result is a door handle with an architectural character, functional both in domestic settings and in professional contexts such as offices and executive spaces. An object that transforms formal simplicity into a material and contemporary experience, where transparency, light and solidity naturally coexist.
The connection point between the crystal and the “tooth” of the L-section of the metal hub is solved with a precision structural bonding that required long experimentation.
