This reduced the amount of material needed, lowered costs and lightened the weight (in order to not weigh down on the mechanism). The model was extremely successful and is still part of our range.
The Uovo (Italian for “egg”) is the brainchild of Ambrogio Olivari. We needed a small knob with an elegant shape. To obtain it, as the name reveals, he simply used an egg. To produce it, we cast it using shell moulding with a sand core, a technique that allowed us to achieve a large exterior surface and a hollow body.
Uovo’s aesthetic appeal is due to its classic design (by Studio Olivari) 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.
