CHELSEA LEGNO
Jean Nouvel2023
M232B
Chelsea, designed by Jean Nouvel, is born from the desire to go beyond the traditional tubular geometry of the door handle. The project favours the senses: a soft, enveloping shape, modelled on the imprint of the hand, and a warm material that is pleasant to the touch. Made in collaboration with Riva1920 and a selection of fine and exclusive woods, Chelsea becomes a strong, iconic and highly expressive sign, capable of turning the handle into a distinctive architectural element.

Chelsea Legno, 2023
Jean Nouvel rejects from the outset even a material like steel, because he wants the senses to guide its formal definition. He explains that he wants them to be stimulated by a soft, sensual shape, pleasant to the touch, and by a warm, almost soft material. Finally, he wants it to become a sign through colour.
Chelsea was born with these premises: it is moulded on the imprint of the hand that grasps it, and the grip is made with the exclusive woods of Riva 1920.
