Melanzana Central Door Knob - P266B
Luigi Caccia Dominioni 2025
Between 1959 and 1962 Luigi Caccia Dominioni designed three historic models with the same design matrix and the same characteristic handle, but with different functions, determined by the position of the pillar: a knob, with a central pillar, and two handles , one with a straight pillar, placed in an offset position, the other with an angled pillar inclined out of axis to facilitate the lever.

Beijing’s aesthetic appeal is due to its classic design (by Steven Holl) combined with Olivari’s fully concealed fixings and single piece rose.
Mechanically, its torsion spring ensures superior handle bounce back and its solid brass construction, with a choice of finishes (including SuperInox with its 30 year anti tarnish guarantee even in sea air) makes it unique in the world of handles.
Stocked locally and suitable for internal & external use on all door types for commercial & residential projects of all sizes.
As standard, it comes with Australian tie through fixings making it 100% compatible with Australian & European style mortice locks and tube latches.
Note: Olivari levers purchased online from Europe do not come with Australian fixings and are not supported locally.

Luigi Caccia Dominioni 2025
Between 1959 and 1962 Luigi Caccia Dominioni designed three historic models with the same design matrix and the same characteristic handle, but with different functions, determined by the position of the pillar: a knob, with a central pillar, and two handles , one with a straight pillar, placed in an offset position, the other with an angled pillar inclined out of axis to facilitate the lever.
These models were produced by Azucena, the historic Italian brand founded in 1947 by Ignazio Gardella, Corrado Corradi dell’Acqua and by Caccia Dominioni himself: the company put into production and marketed a precious collection of furnishing and design objects, designed by themselves , a refined and cultured expression of modern living but strongly rooted in tradition.
The role of an architect, I believe, is also to raise a succession of emotions. My entries, my stairs and even my furniture are urban solutions.

I’ve always adored small spaces and I’ve dedicated myself to making them appear larger.
