Pair of Aqua Brass & Glass Door Handles

With Aqua, designers Matteo and Renzo Piano transform the door handle into an architectural object in its own right. The precision-crafted glass takes center stage in the design, playing with light and reflections. The understated and refined brass elements complement the form without ever overshadowing it. Available in several glass colors and metal finishes, Aqua elegantly blends into sophisticated interiors where every detail matters.

This pair of door handles is intended for:

  • on newer doors (mortise locks);
  • for doors between 38 mm and 40 mm thick (standard thickness). This handle comes with a 7 mm square spindle and the adapters needed for installation.

Description

Aqua – the transparent door handle

The Aqua designer door handle is a true expression of contemporary Italian design, where material becomes light and the act of opening a door becomes a moment of poetry. Designed by Matteo and Renzo Piano, this handle stands out for its use of glass as a central element, enhanced by craftsmanship of the utmost precision.

Its glass body— pure, fluid, and sensual—evokes the transparency of water and subtly captures light, creating delicate reflections that change throughout the day. The glass, crafted with exceptional artisanal skill, feels soft and pleasant to the touch, while its slightly rounded shape ensures perfect ergonomics.

The metal components, crafted from brass, are intentionally understated to highlight the elegance of the glass. They are available in a wide range of finishes (matte or polished), allowing them to blend seamlessly into both contemporary and more traditional interiors. Aqua is available in a variety of shades, creating different atmospheres, from the brightest to the most sophisticated.

Designed with a holistic approach, the Aqua handle fits seamlessly into demanding architectural projects, whether they are residences, hotels, or high-end commercial spaces. It does more than simply adorn the door: it interacts with the space, adds depth, and reinforces the identity of the location.

Manufactured in Italy to the highest quality standards, each handle is equipped with a built-in spring mechanism, ensuring smooth, quiet, and long-lasting operation. Aqua is more than just a door handle: it is a luminous, timeless, and refined design piece, created for those who value detail just as much as the architecture as a whole.

The handle comes with backplates and locking options, including L-keys, Y-keys, or a deadbolt. A 7-mm-thick door spindle is also included to ensure easy and worry-free installation.
