EDGE – The new sculptural handle by Il Bronzetto

Il Bronzetto presents EDGE, the new door handle designed by OmniDe, a London-based architecture and interior design studio: an object that elevates a daily-use element into an architectural sign with strong aesthetic value. A handle born from the encounter between sculptural research, material experimentation, and contemporary functionality—micro-architecture capable of dialoguing with light and space.

The concept of EDGE stems from the observation of the sharp geometries and pure volumes typical of contemporary architecture. OmniDe explored angular lines, cuts of light, and surfaces that shift in perception depending on the point of view, resulting in an object with a powerful material presence.
Through iterative prototyping, the team refined proportions, ergonomics, and durability, achieving a flawless balance between bold aesthetics and everyday usability.

A Detail That Redefines Interiors

EDGE naturally integrates into a wide range of settings: from essential private homes to high-end interiors, from hospitality spaces to executive offices.
Its faceted geometry captures light and creates unexpected visual depth, transforming the door into an architectural feature. Thanks to numerous finish options—from brushed nickel to bronze, from satin chrome to gold variants—the handle becomes a versatile detail that can either blend seamlessly or stand out, depending on the design intent.

Il Bronzetto has always prioritized sustainability, focusing on product durability, material responsibility, and timeless design. Made from high-quality metals such as nickel and brass—long-lasting and fully recyclable materials—EDGE guarantees longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste over time. The artisanal craftsmanship and precision production process ensure superior quality and material efficiency, while the architectural design keeps the product relevant for decades, mitigating the environmental impact of short lifecycle trends.
The brand’s “Multi-Finish” philosophy allows for extensive customization without requiring new production runs, supporting a more responsible approach to interior design.

Distinctive Features:

• Sculptural design: angular surfaces and plays of light and shadow that shift with natural and artificial illumination.
• Refined materiality: noble, tactile finishes designed for both residential and contract interiors.
• Surprising ergonomics: solid geometry paired with a comfortable, natural grip.
• Aesthetic versatility: ideal for contemporary homes, boutique hotels, high-profile offices, and public spaces.
• Architectural integration: a functional element that becomes part of the project’s design language.
