Prisma Oro is an original door handle, entirely handmade in Italy. This design is considered a "functional sculpture" as it combines sculptural and functional elements in one object. The door handle, with its material, shape and plasticity, becomes a signature item. The aim of Prisma Oro, made of alluminium and coated with gold leaf, is to introduce a new decorativism that is able to relate with architectural spaces and interior design. Prisma Oro becomes the theme and the unexpected form, as well as a perfectly functional door handle
The NJ interior project started in 2014. Two young artists and longtime friends from Italy’s South Tyrol, Jacopo Candotti (sculptor) and Nicole Valenti (designer), decided to begin a new adventure together in a small home workshop located in the heart of Florence. We call our creations“functional sculpture” this year we present a collection of door handles, knobs and furniture. Our items are characterised by the fusion of sculpture and functionality. In our collection, these two elements come together to create unique objects, which are entirely handmade by the best Italian craftsmen. The NJ project is a journey through the universe of forms and materials, in which inspiration gives birth to high-quality and original objects: a tropical bird, the texture of a rock, the shape of an unusual branch become door handles through the sculptural medium. NJ Studio wants to create signature spaces and atmospheres in which sculpture and decor are in close relation with architecture and contemporary interior design. Our art lab does not only create design objects, it also provides personalized advice and interior design services.
