The Design

About Punto Manilla de puerta

Punto es una manilla diseñada para puertas de uso cotidiano. La forma de Punto surge de la investigación sobre las manillas históricas y sus formas. Las proporciones siguen una relación constante de uno a dos, y esta relación vincula todas las geometrías de la manilla. Punto mide 150 por 60 por 50 milímetros. La manilla se fabrica mediante fundición inyectada en aluminio o en latón. Las versiones de aluminio se recubren con pintura en polvo, mientras que las de latón se pulen o se cromen. La forma simplificada ayuda al usuario a comprender de inmediato cómo se abre la puerta.
