Premium materials and finishes

All MANDELLI1953 handles are crafted in their Italian factory using certified Italian brass. The brass undergoes meticulous processing—forged, turned, die-cast, ground, vibrated, polished, and satin-finished on-site, before receiving galvanizing, metalizing (PVD), and varnishing treatments.

MANDELLI1953 offers distinctive finishes including:

  • Vitrified fluxcoating: A protective layer enhancing brass quality and ensuring longevity, with superior resistance to weathering, impact, and abrasion. Available in matt bronze (MBR), matt satin nickel (MSN), antique bronze (AB), and antique chrome (28).
  • Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD): An advanced treatment providing enhanced resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and bleaching, making it ideal for outdoor and high-traffic spaces.

Additional finish options include antique brass, black, satin, polished, bronze, satin and polished stainless steel, and leather.

Collaborations and Recognition

MANDELLI1953 partners with leading architects, designers, and artists to create innovative products, such as the “Déesse” handle designed by Dodo Arslan, inspired by the iconic Citroën car. The brand’s dedication to Italian craftsmanship has earned them recognition as one of the Lombardy Excellences of the ADI Design Index.
