Il Bronzetto’s EDGE Door Handle Holds Court

A door handle is the first thing we touch in a house. As tactility in many products is now lessened or intentionally obscured, Il Bronzetto instead heads in another direction. Sleek and dynamic, the EDGE Door Handle, designed by London-based architecture and interior design studio OmniDe, creates a powerful statement both outside and inside the home – articulated through responsibly crafted, high-quality, fully recyclable metals destined to endure. Sculptural art meets a form that is both modern and regal, establishing a unique relationship between rooms through light, touch, and material presence.

Naturally integrating into a wide range of interiors—including private residences, offices, hospitality spaces, museums, and public environments—the EDGE Door Handle offers a thoughtfully engineered solution to an often-forgotten design component. Similar to outlet covers, cord management, and light temperature, these seemingly minute but incredibly important facets of an interior cannot be overlooked; together, they transform a regular room into something that speaks to the soul.

The iterative design process was meticulous, drawing inspiration from the sharp geometries and pure volumes of both traditional and contemporary architecture. Giving off a sense of power and speed, the square rose sits just slightly raised above the door, its subtle extrusions presenting a solid architectural base for the handle. Two primary forms meet at a central point, recalling the angularity of Art Deco while remaining distinctly contemporary. Like two metallic crystals fused together, the faceted geometry refracts light and shifts perception depending on the point of view. Here, Il Bronzetto successfully merges sculpture with utility—a masterclass in material precision and refraction.

Central to this approach is the brand’s “Multi-Finish” philosophy, which allows for extensive customization without requiring new production runs, supporting a more responsible approach to interior design. Crafted in Italy from high-quality brass and available in finishes including Natural, Black Wax, Amber, Dark Burnished, and Nickel—with special finishes available upon request—EDGE is designed for longevity, durability, and adaptability across residential and contract applications. Suitable for both doors and windows, dedicated versions ensure performance without compromise.

“We were looking for a detail that represented our brand: precise, innovative, timeless. EDGE is exactly that,” says a client.

We must, as a species, turn toward more ethical means of production. As consumer education grows by the hour, the embrace of sustainable practices will only widen the divide between early adopters and naysayers. EDGE not only sets a precedent within the industry by prioritizing durability, recyclability, and timeless design, but also quietly layers in an ergonomic, respectful approach—proving that even the smallest architectural gestures can carry lasting impact.
