The form is shaped to create a fluid and sculptural element that emerges from the rose and curves upward, forming a kind of wing. Thanks to the offset rotation axis, opening is also made easier when using an elbow or when hands are occupied.
Fenice
1992
Fenice was the first project I developed after returning to Italy from my experience in France. I was drawn to the idea of creating a handle that, when grasped, could convey a sense of softness, comfort and gentleness, while at the same time altering the rigid geometry of the axis and lever scheme that defines all objects of this kind.
