Peter Marino is a master in the creation of contemporary luxury settings, a talent he has employed in chic interiors and the showrooms of famous high-end fashion brands. The two handle models he designed for Olivari are closely related, but made at different moments.
Blade is an almost necessary completion of Edge, designed for situations where it is appropriate to use a simple and rigorous model, and therefore mainly for modern and essential environments.

Soon after to Edge, Marino designed a simplified version called Blade, made in a single material without sacrificing any of the handle’s initial elegance. — Antonio Olivari
