Garda is a handle designed by Ignazio Gardella, with an essential and decisive line, conceived to dialogue with contemporary architectures with a clean language. The balanced proportions and the linear profile define a discreet yet recognizable door handle, capable of offering an ergonomic and comfortable grip. A timeless handle that expresses formal rigor, design quality and attention to detail, transforming a functional element into an integral part of domestic architecture.
For its essential line and spare language, Gardella says he drew inspiration from the German rationalist architect Ferdinand Kramer, who had taken part in the urban visions of Neue Frankfurt by Ernst May, designing a handle with elementary geometry.

Gardella studies the proportions of his handle starting from a cylindrical element.
