Drop is a soft, surprising, affable object, in which brass conveys its allure thanks to the best possible form. The door handle is available in four different versions, all with satin finish: chrome, black graphite, copper, gold.

Drop is a product part of the collection “Handling architecture”, developed by Dnd under the artistic direction of Giulio Iacchetti and with the participation of five architecture firms. According to Cino Zucchi, “Drop belongs to the world of ‘silent service’, of useful, humble objects happy to be part of the backdrop of our existence. This door handle is a timid, chubby maidservant, with her hair tied back in a bun and a lace apron, who opens doors with a smile”.
