An Olivari classic, the Bica handle, conceived by architects Augusto Magnaghi and Mario Terzaghi for the Bica complex (part of the Montecatini Group). It’s the first mass-produced handle in Italy, in anodized aluminum alloy, and is one of the projects that has enjoyed considerable, long-lasting commercial success in the vast Olivari catalog.
