dario matteini new york serie: williamsburg by dario matteini from ireland

designer's own words:

the new york serie: williamsburg door handle is made entirely of brass and follows the colombo design's standard galvanic treatment. the surface is finished in chrome or matt chrome. the insert can be in plastic, red matt finish, to recall the colombo design colours or in fsc certified wood. fsc (forest stewardship council) certified wood is a worldwide recognised sustainable forestry standard leading to responsible forest management. fsc wood in fact achieves a more equal and equitable representation of global forest resources, their biodiversity and social benefits derived there from.
fsc wood is provided worldwide, including the bergamo area. the brass for the production of the door handle could also be produced, if possible, by recycling or use of scrap brass from other productions in the area, increasing the level of environmental sustainability of the company and the product. the production of the door handle could be realized via forging for better resistance or casting. the coloured insert, above all in wood, is very versatile because it can be used to recall the colour of the flooring or the general ambient colour of the room or office or for more design purposes.
