About Punto Door Handle

Punto is a door handle designed for everyday doors. The form of Punto comes from research into historical handles and their shapes. The proportions follow a constant ratio of one to two, and this relation links all the geometries of the handle. Punto measures 150 by 60 by 50 millimetres. The handle is made by die casting in aluminium or in brass. Aluminium versions are powder coated, while brass versions are polished or chromed. The simplified shape helps the user read at once how the door is opened.
