Alberto Meda's Laconica Door Handle Collection Launches with Colombo Design America
Engineer Alberto Meda has designed Laconica, a new door and window hardware collection for Colombo Design America. The collection reduces the handle to its most essential gesture, using simple geometric forms like a conical return and angular lever. It includes privacy sets, DK window handles, lift-and-slide handles, and fixed pull handles. Laconica features an innovative installation system that mounts on a rose without additional door work. Finishes include PVD-treated Polished Brass, HPS Stainless Steel, and Matte Graphite, plus solvent-free powder coatings in Umber Bronze, Dark Green, and Cherry. Production follows Colombo's Green Made program with water recovery, reduced dust emissions, and efficient finishing technologies.
