Aurora is born from the meeting of metal and Murano glass, shaping a decorative handle with strong visual impact. The material contrast creates reflections and depth that evoke a refined aesthetic, able to sit between classic and contemporary. The lever keeps a constant focus on ergonomics, ensuring a balanced grip despite the formal refinement. It is a handle designed for representative interiors, where the detail becomes a distinctive element of the project.

Aurora, 1994

The idea of a handle enclosing the magic of glass was born from the conversation with Alessandro Mendini. He immediately had the intuition of a drop of transparent glass integrated into or emerging from the metal, and with it the idea of the shape.
