The story of Enrico Cassina beautiful door handles belonged only to aristocratic palaces or mansions

At that time, Enrico Cassina understood very well the growing need to produce aesthetic handles. So he began to recreate exquisite door handles, which, thanks to the use of castings, became more affordable. Over time, the styles offered spanned a wide range of eras, from baroque to more modern eras. Officine Meccaniche Porro took over the prestigious brand Enrico Cassina in 2005, giving it access to a wide range of shapes that are a real treasure for a manufacturer who continues to produce with passion and craftsmanship. After careful cataloging, Officine Meccaniche Porro made this collection available for use, also enriching it with contemporary creations and adaptations. This valuable repertoire inspires the creation of handles that are stylistically consistent with the reference period and all architectural styles offered. There are unique products to choose from from an unmatched range that is unmatched on the market. Enrico Cassina handles combine precious raw materials and mechanically advanced technology with valuable hand-made finishes, just like a craft workshop. Enrico Cassina's handles and accessories today represent the perfect combination between 100% Made in Italy, arts, craftsmanship and technology.

The technological processes and hot forging technologies used by Enrico Cassina have replaced the traditional metal casting process as it allows more consistent production and higher quality of items. In addition, the PVD or molecular deposition process under high vacuum and high temperature conditions gives the products extreme chemical and meteorological resistance as well as unlimited oxidation and scratch resistance properties 4 times higher than standard electroplated coatings. The company uses, among other things, the lost-wax technique for the production of precious metal objects with extremely complex shapes and very precise details, but also forging with a stick to corrugate the full brass surface and precise chiselling, because some decorative details still require a professional hand of a carving master, who refines and corrects the smallest details, creating a real, unique and instantly recognizable "work of art".
