Atena Rank
M1ARB
Atena Rank is a door handle that interprets classic taste through a solid and rigorous design. The shape of the grip, linear and well proportioned, expresses balance and restraint, giving the handle a discreet yet authoritative presence. The grip is decorated with the technique of guilloché in the rank motif, characterised by a rhythmic sequence of regular vertical incisions that mark the brass surface. This precision workmanship enhances the material, improves the grip and enriches the tactile experience.

Atena Rank,
2016
Designed as a handle for internal doors and windows, Atena Rank combines function, decoration and build quality, interpreting Italian design as a synthesis of manufacturing tradition and timeless elegance, in harmony with classical and contemporary architectural contexts.
Unlike freehand engraving (incisione tout court), made by hand and suited to a freer, more naturalistic decoration, that produced with the macchine à guillocher is typically mechanical and repetitive; however it allows an infinity of different patterns as the processing parameters vary, combining with the operator’s technical and aesthetic sensitivity.
