Boma was born from a pioneering vision that introduced new materials into the design of the door handle. The first plastic handle produced in Italy, it embodies an idea of accessible and contemporary design, combining ergonomics, user comfort and design quality. An iconic handle, conceived for architectures attentive to innovation and the experimentation of materials.
Boma was conceived as a gesture of rupture against the conventions of handle design. The introduction of plastic was not a mere technical choice, but an act of conscious experimentation, able to expand the language of materials applied to architecture.

The novelty of the form and the color, combined with the economy of the material and the production process, have resulted in an enduring success: as such it endures over time.
