Non è facile, impugnando una maniglia, cogliere le complessità che portano a realizzare un prodotto con cui ci relazioniamo decine o centinaia di volte al giorno, che fa parte della nostra quotidianeità.

It’s not easy, while holding an handle, grasp the complexity that lead to create a product with which we relate tens or hundreds of times a day, which is part of our daily lives.

The needed steps that lead the production of this object are numerous and require advanced technologies.

The Colombo Design finishes, flagship of the company’s production, are the result of rigorous reserach and constant quality control.

In addition to the traditional galvanic department, the company also has an exclusive HPS treatment system that (High Protection System) uses the processing process called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposit), whose protective features against atmospheric agents guarantee brightness and resistance to corrosion over time.

The HPS process is the last of numerous galvanic treatments, preceded by accurated production steps that start from the piece in its raw state:
