LAMA

Gio Ponti1956

M107

Lama, designed by Gio Ponti, is a designer handle that has become a symbol and archetype of the handle itself. The design follows a rigorous geometric principle, in which the form naturally guides the movement of the hand. The lever, extremely thinned, evokes the precision of a blade, softened by a careful study of the radii that round its profile. A door handle of absolute formal clarity, capable of uniting classicism, balance and a deeply contemporary vision of architectural detail.

Lama, 1956

Lama, a harmonious handle, made “of linear, coordinated shapes” capable of dialoguing coherently with domestic and non-residential settings.

In the Lama handle, “classical symbolism” prevails over the “functional” approach to the object.
