The Icona handle features an essential, neutral aesthetic, conceived as a true all-rounder able to adapt to different contexts, with a balance between memory and contemporaneity. The functional design is accompanied by careful ergonomic research: the rounded section inside the grip makes the hold natural and pleasant to the touch. The contrast with the flat outer part introduces an unexpected effect, which enriches the design handle without compromising its formal simplicity. A contemporary door handle, discreet and versatile, ideal for residential and professional environments.
Icona is characterised by the ergonomics of the grip, very pleasant in the hand thanks to the rounded section inside the grip. This rounded part contrasts with the visible flat part of the handle and creates an unexpected effect.

Functionality, durability and comfort are the main components of Van Duysen’s work. An architectural language that does not fear aesthetics, but resists fashion and trends.
