Agata

 1965
M116

In conceiving an object functional to the gesture of grasping a lever and transforming space, opening or closing it, Franco Albini and Franca Helg design a door handle characterized by the lightness of a wing or the profile of a flower, following an expressive direction of measured organicity. This brass handle arises from a careful search for balance between opposites: between sensuality and geometric rigor, between solidity and lightness, between the graphic precision of the line and the material consistency of the volume. The result is an interior door handle capable of uniting function, elegance and architectural sensitivity.
