ARPA DESIGN:
THE ELEGANCE OF A TIMELESS ICON

In the recent article published on
Matrix 4 Design, in the section dedicated to outdoor items, the Arpa handle by Frascio was presented. Designed in the late 90s, Arpa is a handle for sliding doors and entrances, characterised by a soft, elegant and harmonious shape, designed to ensure a comfortable grip.

The design of Arpa is distinguished by its arched structure, with ellipsoidal volumes that taper from the top to the lower fixing pin.
A true functional sculpture, which when used in pairs on glass surfaces creates an arched figure with great visual impact. Arpa fully represents the idea of ​​a timeless design: over twenty-five years after its birth, it retains its expressive force intact, immune to the passing of fashions and time.

BCF DESIGN: THE ART OF CREATING
TIMELESS OBJECTS

With a career spanning over 45 years, BCF design has had the opportunity to see many of its projects remain current and in production for decades.
One of the characteristics that accompanies the design created by BCF design is precisely the ability to create objects capable of lasting over time, thanks to an essential and authentic style.
At the basis of this approach is a profound vision of design, which places the relationship between the object and the person at the center. Each creation is born with the intent of establishing an authentic bond with those who use it, naturally and transparently recounting the company’s values, without forcing or artifice.
These elements are combined with a careful study of the overall harmony of the project, which gives coherence and recognizability to each creation. Design becomes a sincere expression of an identity capable of transmitting true and lasting emotions.

Objects with a timeless design not only stand the test of time, but also contribute in a lasting way to building a company’s reputation, becoming true symbols of identity, witnesses of a brand handed down through generations of consumers.
