The Design

About Punto Maçaneta de Porta

Punto é uma maçaneta concebida para portas de uso diário. A forma do Punto resulta de uma investigação sobre maçanetas históricas e as suas formas. As proporções seguem uma razão constante de um para dois, e essa relação articula todas as geometrias da maçaneta. O Punto mede 150 por 60 por 50 milímetros. A maçaneta é produzida por fundição injetada em alumínio ou em latão. As versões em alumínio recebem pintura a pó, enquanto as versões em latão são polidas ou cromadas. A forma simplificada ajuda o utilizador a perceber imediatamente como a porta se abre.
