The Torregrossa family has always been involved in \nthe world of hardware and handles in several companies. José Torregrosa, \nDaniel & Carlos' grandfather, was known for creating the most important \ncommercial networks in the Spanish peninsula and integrating the \nEuropean market and its diversity into the Spanish industry. He \nwould always be asked how he had managed to accomplish such \nexpansion, to which he usually replied “you have to do things \nthe right way, with passion, love and dedication- as \nthey are meant to be done”.\nThat sentence stuck into Daniel’s mind and working philosophy \nbringing him to where he is today. He learnt that results came \nfrom believing in what you do and putting your heart into it, no \nmatter what resources you have. Nonetheless, he quickly realised \nthe limitations of working with this traditional industry: lack \nof diversity in design, deficiency in quality and the general \nuninspirational atmosphere.\nGROËL’S FOUNDATIONS\n\"Whatever    you  do,    be  different. \nIf you’re  different, you will stand out.\"\n",12,{"image":60,"text":61,"number":62},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.13.png","Finding the tedium of his career was the turning point in \nDaniel’s life, he did not just want to be different but make a \ndifference.

After developing more of my identity in the market I decided to represent \nit better. Hence, I completely changed the philosophy behind the logo. I \nwanted to express elegance and design, but without losing originality. This \nis when I selected the Century Gothic font and decided to put the whole \nlogo in lower-case. This font enhances the height of lower-case characters \nand is reasonably purely geometric design closely based on the circle and \nsquare. It also has less variation in stroke width than fonts designed for \nsmall sizes tend to show and a relatively slender design in its default weight. \nLastly, the most recent modification of the logo was separating the œ \nwhich in French œ is called “e dans l'o” [ə dɑ̃ lo], which literally means e \nin the o and removing the bold in it to give minimalism to the logo.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhy did you create Groël? \nDANIEL TORREGROSSA\nI was and still am a person with a very clear vision on how to do things \nin order to obtain the best possible result. I was seeing clear gaps in the \nhandle industry in Spain. The designs and finishes were traditional and \nhadn't evolved for years. During the 90s, the population was very closed \nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat’s the origin and evolution of Groël's logo?\nWhy does it have a diaeresis?\nDANIEL TORREGROSSA\nWell, it’s actually very simple, it’s the composition of the third syllable of \nmy surname with the third syllable of my name: Torre(gro)sa Dani(el). \nThe diaeresis was added for several reasons. At home I always spoke French \nwith my mother, and it has been an important part of my life ever since. \nFurthermore, adding this “tréma” made Groël be phonetically identical to \nItalian and Spanish when read in French. Another reason is also its original \naesthetic. I just purely liked the way it looked and it leaves room for creativity \nfor marketing purposes.\nAs for the logo, I created it on my first Mac, based on the trending font at \nthat time, the Comic Sans in capital letters. Nowadays it has become an \nWe tend to forget the relevance \nof     common objects    in \nour life     that     we      use  on   a \ndaily basis.

I was already very experienced in lever \nhandles since I had been working for a decade in this field, but now it \nwas time to go in a new direction with new concepts. In order to do \nso, I had to travel to the country of design, I had to become “made in \nItaly”.

Starting a solo journey is what’s meant to happen \nwhen your ideas do not fit within society, but it comes to a point where \nyou can’t keep up by yourself, and you carry too much on your shoulders. \nThe arrival of my brother did not only relieve that weight, but also helped \nthe company's business network to grow and expand to where it is today. \nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat was your next step?\nDANIEL TORREGROSSA\nWe soon understood we had to continue our journey creating, learning \nand innovating. This is when we created both 803 María and 133 Hélice \nlever handles. The María handle is more of a rustic style adapted for the \nSpanish market which has also gained success and is nowadays still the \nprotagonist of several projects. The 133 Hélice handle is more of an ergonomic \nmodel presenting a modern and advanced curvature - which has also attained \nsignificant projects.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat was the first model you designed?\nWas it successful?\nDANIEL TORREGROSSA\nAs a kid I was always very creative and enjoyed my free time doing paintings \nand drawing. I never designed a product as such before, but being aware of \nmy artistic capacity I was confident in taking the risk to design something \ninnovative for that time. This is how the model 117 Log.gic was created. \nThis handle presents an ingenuous style with straight lines but with subtly \nrounded profiles. \nI presented this model in Spanish factories where it was declined since \nminimalism and contemporary design wasn’t a thing at all - Spain was \nmore into the rustic style. This rejection gave me strength to pursue my \nidea, it proved that' I truly had a different perspective, which I believed \nwas a positive attribute. After a lot of investigation and a lot of work I \nmanaged to finally manufacture in Italy. Nowadays, 25 years later, the 117 \nLog.gic handle is still among our top 3 best-sellers gaining international \nrecognition.

It is for this reason \nthat among Groël's original models we find classics that end \nup being reinvented over time. Today, Groël has a wide range \nof lever and pull handles in different styles that have been \ncreated following the concerns of our designer, adapting to \nthe needs and preferences of the market. However, the first \nsteps of this company were firmly committed to innovative, \nclean and sober designs, with smooth profiles and pleasant \nto the touch. This is what imbues hints of Italian design to \nany room, standing out  for its minimalism - as strange as it \nmay sound. \nAgainst this backdrop, we witnessed the birth of the Fila \ndesign, a model that combines a rectilinear, thin and smooth \nsurface on its grip with a slight volume on its lower part that \nblends in its neck. A novel concept bursting into interior design \nlike a breath of fresh air. This modern and original handle \nbecame one of Groël's best-sellers, which, despite its simplicity, \nremains highly appreciated.\nOver time, customer preferences and market needs have changed. \nIn addition, our unceasing restlessness, our passion for design \nand our inexhaustible will for progress, propelled us to create new \nmodels and new ways to reinvent ourselves without leaving aside \nour essence that defines us. \nHowever, if there is one thing we cannot deny, it is our respect \nfor our flagship models. Those designs that have made a \ndifference and that our customers around the world have \nloved so much. It is for this reason that classics like the Fila \nmodel have not only remained in our catalogue among our \ntop sellers, but have also evolved. \nThis is the birth of the Special handle design: a model \nwith a stylised silhouette and unparalleled purity, the evolution \nof a classic, the definition of a profile towards the sublimation \nof its initial design. The pronounced and abrupt volume of \nthe Fila neck is softened by creating a subtle curvature of great \nelegance and delicacy, while at the same time lengthening the \nhandle’s grip. If Groël is synonymous with design, quality and \nstyle, the flagship model that fulfills these same premises is \nundoubtedly the Special handle. We therefore find the same \nconcept represented by two handles, one with a more robust \nappearance, with more presence and strength, and the other \nmore delicate, more subtle and elegant. Thanks to this stylistic \nbifurcation of common origin, we can corroborate the versatility \nof Fila and Special.  These models have the ability to fit in any \nhome and environment depending on the spatial and decorative \nimportance that you want to give to the handle.\nGiven the success of our classic models and the dedication \nwe put into their creation, we consider it necessary for them \nto remain in our catalogue. Nonetheless, we also allow them \nto evolve towards the creation of new designs without losing \ntheir essence, Groël's essence.\nGROËL’S EDITORIALS\nTHE EVOLUTION\nOF A CLASSIC\nWRITTEN BY     Vanessa RUIZ\nPRODUCT DESIGNER\nDaniel TORREGROSSA\n",28,{"image":123,"text":124,"number":125},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.29.png","FROM FILA TO SPECIAL\n",29,{"image":127,"text":128,"number":129},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.30.png","Furthermore, this handle design also presents matching accessories from the \nsame collection such as a pull handle that can be applied to sliding doors, \nwardrobes, drawers, and any kind of furniture.

The customer profile was the same, so I took advantage of the experience \nand knowledge acquired to project Groël in the best possible way. Customers who \nwere very confident in our good work and reliability, opened their doors to us and \ntrusted us and our product from the very beginning. Our first areas of influence \nwere Alicante, Valencia, Castellón, Murcia and Albacete. From there, we expanded \nas we became well established and had the ability to serve new regions, until today, \nwhere we have reached 35 countries. \nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nHow has Groël evolved throughout your career?\nCARLOS TORREGROSSA\nOn the one hand, Groël is always evolving thanks to the foundations on which \nit was created: transmitting our passion for what we do, our commitment, the \nproduct quality and our service. But something very important that has brought \nus to where we are today, is our technical and commercial know-how, and our \nability to adapt to the needs of our customers. \nOn the other hand, it is always important to be able to manage the situation \nof the market and the sector in every aspect. For this reason, being aware of \nthe evolution and situation of any distributor or manufacturer of handles is \nirrefutable, regardless of the range: imported from Asia, exported from Europe, \nlower, medium or higher range handles. Furthermore, knowing their different \nqualities and production processes is also helpful, as well as common mistakes \nor accuracies, in order to improve oneself. This has made it very clear for us that \nthe future lies in maximum quality and that we have to be constantly innovating \nin order to be the best. The result is that, as I said at the beginning, we are \nconstantly evolving.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat have you learnt from your career in Groël, both profes-\nsionally and personally?\nCARLOS TORREGROSSA\nProfessionally, every day is a new experience from which you learn something. \nEvery market is different, so this is something that enriches you a lot. If, for \nexample, each region of Spain is different (different way of thinking, different \nneeds and styles), imagine each country (different fixing systems, tastes and cultures). \nAlthough our commercial policy is very clear and defined, the way of negotiating \nwith each one is different and I love this. Another thing that has impacted me \npersonally, is the opportunity Groël has given me to travel a lot and to meet \nmany people from places that many would dream of going to, and to share \nexperiences and cultures... And this is so enlightening!\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nHow would you describe Groël today?\nCARLOS TORREGROSSA\nWe are constantly growing, and we are actually consolidating the digitalisation \nof our company. This is making us progress even more and reach places we \ndidn't reach before. It opens up many business opportunities for us, such as \nContract, which we were already working in and where we are growing a lot. \nOur tendency is to go one step further. Not only, as I said before, to understand \nthe needs of a client or carpenter but also those of a technician, an interior \ndesigner or an architect. As we are placed in a premium sector, the demands are \nmuch higher than in a standard sector. In today's premium projects, specialists \nare seeking harmony and excellence, to ensure that the finishes are integrated \nand that everything has the same meaning. We are very conscious of this need \nor way of approaching decoration, which is why, for many years now, we have \nbeen getting closer to this type of professional and we maintain a very close \nrelationship through our service. This is how we manage to help customers, \neven going as far as customising pieces that are not in our catalogue to offer \nthem a completely personalised service, covering their needs and making them \nfeel comfortable with our brand and the way we treat them.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat are your short and long term aspirations for Groël?\nCARLOS TORREGROSSA\nWe are in the process of internal improvement with the implementation of a \nnew ERP that will help us to be much more reactive, improve our service both \nsales and after sales, and also an improvement in logistics by automating many \nprocesses of storage and preparation of orders. Investing in improvement only \nbrings satisfaction.  We always have projects on the go all over the world. We \nhave created a great marketing team that is driving us forward, and that is going \nto take us very far. This project in such a booming market as visual communication, \nadvertising, etc. is never-ending.

Groël complies with the actual European \nenvironmental legislation and as well with the Sustainable \nDevelopment Goals set for 2030. Nonetheless, our definition \nof sustainability is deeper than this comprising a wider spectrum \nwith more values.\nAs Roberto Monti claims, “a brand with healthy values must \noperate with environmental responsibility, product quality \nand people’s wellbeing at its heart, being the employees, suppliers \nor clients”. At Groël, we agree with this statement in every aspect \nfrom people sustainability to product sustainability. We value \nour people to the highest standard and we like building a solid \nteam because without every single one of us, this project \nwould not be possible.\nMoreover, it is important to highlight the bond between \nsustainable and timeless concepts to talk about product sus-\ntainability. For us, it’s unimaginable to design products only \nfor the sake of fast fashion and trends that quickly decay, \nrequiring an unsustainable manufacturing approach. This \nis why we dedicate so much time, creativity and thought to \nevery single one of our creations. Sustainability is having a \nsustainable design by all means: a timeless aesthetic design, \nenvironmentally friendly production steps and shipping system, \nand an end product with a long life.\nWhen creating products, we need to think of models that look \ncontemporary yet at the same time inspired by the past. This is \nan ambitious path that may not always be practicable, but we try \nto guide our clients to choose spatial and furnishing solutions \nthat they will never tire of as time passes. It is important to believe \nin the timeless concept just as we believe in sustainability since \nthey go hand in hand.

But sometimes, it is not a bad thing to break the rules to let your imagination \nand creativity run freely. Groël's philosophy dances between classic and contemporary, between traditional and \navant-garde, and is driven and inspired by fashion, culture, dreams, a latent multiculturalism and design. \nGroël flourishes through its divergent character. While 3D printers have taken over wood carvings, Groël maintains \nthem. Every model is born from its pencil sketches and wood carvings to create the highest quality handles. \nDespite this traditional and artisanal modus operandi in the purest Italian style, the designs are innovative from \nthe outset, creating the latest trends in the market. The first approach in Groël’s genesis was creating bold designs \nwith a minimalist character, taking this trend to its peak in later years with the Atelier collection. \n39\n",39,{"image":167,"text":168,"number":169},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.40.png","Metamorphosis\nTransgression\nThe word Metamorphosis, from the Greek \nmeta (after) and morphe (shape), implies an \nevolution, a change and a transformation. \nGroël has evolved, mutated and matured from \nits beginnings to the present day in many ways \nand has no intention of stopping. Some of its \nflagship models have remained intact due to \ntheir international impact and recognition, but \nothers have evolved to very advanced designs.  \nWe are also witnessing a stylistic mutation \nthrough the creation and launch of the Atelier \ncollection, which is stately, rococo, splendid \nand different from anything Groël used to create.\nWe talk about transgression when \nestablished structures are broken, when \nwhat is considered normal, acceptable \nor ordinary undergoes a metamorphosis \nand ends up being divergent. The Groël \naesthetic is transgressive, it is daring, it is \nnovel and its intention is to never cease \nto be so.\n \nThus, we find iconic models that \ncomply with these three evolutionary \npremises, as is the case of the Flow \nhandle, with its robust neck and delicate \ngrip, rounded edges and timeless style \nendowed with a simple beauty. In addition, \ntogether with this handle, its own \nmatching rose was created from a square \nshape with rounded edges, fitting both \npieces, handle and rose, in a perfect \nvisual harmony.\nThis curiosity for design and this ambition \nto reach every home and space, meeting the ex-\npectations of any customer profile, also led to \nthe birth of other models through the creation of \nthe new contemporary handles, seeking other \nprofiles, other silhouettes and shapes but keeping \ntheir elegance.\nOn the other hand, we find the Roby \nhandle, with a cylindrical neck combined \nwith straight lines sweetened at the ends \nescaping from abrupt angles, creating a \ncombination of a clean, impetuous and \nnoble profile. It is not an ordinary handle, \nno matter how minimalist it may be, \nevery detail makes the difference.\n \nFinally, the Malika handle perfectly \nembodies Groël's metamorphosis, the \ndivergent character of his creations and \nthe transgression of his models. Its stagge-\nred rose with its pronounced angles and \nsquared shape combines perfectly with \nthe rectilinear grip of the same style. It \nis united in the most original possible \nway by a turned neck, as if it had been \nformed by fusing spheres of different \ndiameters to create an unparalleled har-\nmony. A surprising handle designed to \ncreate passions, because without love \nand obsession there can be no creation. \nTHE ESSENCE DREAMS IT LIKE A DREAM OF SHAPES. THE \nSHAPES FADE AWAY, BUT THE ESSENCE STAYS, DREAMING \nNEW DREAMS.

I started at a very young age, \nwhen I was 23, and since then, every day \nhas been a continuous search for beauty. \nThe more you do, the more freedom and \ncreativity you reach to develop things. In \nthe end, Azul Tierra began with a child's \nenthusiasm with objects and anything \nreally that I had access to. Because of my \ndesire to have knowledge, to learn and to \nget to know everything, I have travelled \nto many fairs of all kinds: textile, antiques, \nart... I have travelled to many parts of \nthe world investigating and gaining \nknowledge... For me, every time you travel \nor read a book, see a film, or anything else, \nit makes you look at things and question \nwhy things last and why they don't.

It has to \nbe comfortable, it has to feel great to \nbe at home, it has to be very cosy and \nyou have to be surrounded by objects \nthat really fulfil you and have a use for \nyou. Azul Tierra has a connotation that \nis friendly, that is warm and that lasts \nover time. For me, materials to have life, \nthey need to last over time and should \nnot be discarded. I like the beauty of \nnoble materials. Nowadays, recycling is \nvery popular. When you pick up a noble \nmaterial at the end, it's a guarantee of qua-\nlity, but they are also sustainable and \nadd style to any home. For example, if \nyou carry a good leather, or canvas bag, \nyou don't need to carry a synthetic bag \nthat will never age in the end. A leather \nbag will always have character, a military \nbag too, a military bag will always give \nyou a result, and it will be nice.

There might be some details, \nmaybe the screens, that change and \nso on but the rest is the same.

For us it is very important \nnot to lose the property, always trying \nto make sure that both parties are one. \nIn the end I think you have to listen a \nlot, get to know, and I think there is a \npart of psychology as well. I always try \nto see the client's house, and they tell \nme: \"no! But I don't want you to see \nmy house, because I don't want this \ntype of decoration\".

It is true \nthat it would take on a very nice tone - I \ndon't mind that and that's in fact what \nI'm looking for with these noble materials, \nalthough, initially you might be a bit \nsurprised. If it's a city flat, the finish will \nbe more stable than in a beach house.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat finish would you choose?\nTONI ESPUCH\nI think the natural brass is the star of \nthe collection, it ages when you use it \nand the tone changes over time - and I \nlove that. On a natural wooden door, the \nhandle would immediately show a patina \nthat would look very pretty.\nThen we have the graphite finish that I \nlove, it looks like gun metal. On camera \nyou might not be able to see it, it looks \nblack but it's not, it's somewhere be-\ntween grey and chocolate - it has a lot of \ncharacter. Besides, all the plays and shapes \nshow a lot and I think it's super elegant. \nYou can put it in any house and on any \ndoor: whether it's a coloured door, a \ncontemporary door or a classic door, I \nthink it would look great. \nMARÍA TORREGROSSA\nWell Toni, thank you very much for \nyour time.

At the end of the day, we are \nthe ones who then try to transmit that \nmagic to the clients, and talking to the \nperson who created it always helps us a \nlot more.\nTONI ESPUCH\nI think that whenever I work with artists, \nbecause we do a bit of gallery work, I \ntry to make sure that the artists get to \nknow the team. When you see a painting \nsometimes you don't see its soul, right? \nYou may like it more or less, but when \nyou meet the person who has created it \neach time, it may not be your criteria, \nyou may not like it, but you look at it \nwith different eyes. And you see it and \nyou see that it has a personality, that \nit has someone behind it, that there is \na learning process, a development, a \nway of expressing, so in the end you \nare valuing something that even if it's \nnot your criteria...

You have to have a bit of patience \nto see the result because several factors \nsuch as the pH of each person, how you \nmaintain it and how much use you give \nto the handle will influence the change \nof colour. The thing about natural brass \nis that at first it gives you that feeling of \nsomething very new, very shocking and \nbright, and people are surprised. But as \nsoon as 6 months pass by, it comes to \nlife, it loses this fantasy and starts to take \non that patina, which is beautiful, and \nallows for that famous colour change that \ngives its personality.

MACHINE WORK HAS \nMUCH TO ANSWER FOR, AND THE ENDEAVOUR \nTO POPULARISE THE CRAFT BY MEANS OF THE \nVILLAGE CLASS HAS NOT ALWAYS ACHIEVED \nITS OWN END.”\nThe Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, 20th Century.\nGROËL’S DESIGN\nThis common belief is leading to the gradual disappearance \nof the foundations of design and the individual artist. At \nGroël we disproved this statement by preserving wood carving \nheritage with every single one of our designs. \n \nBeing at the top of trends and market’s needs does not necessarily \nmean forgetting about where we come from. We are the first \nones to be using the latest technology to create the finest \nproducts, nonetheless, we believe in the expertise and essence \nof tradition as the basis of any artform. The warmth, passion \nand culture that is endowed with a handcrafted work, can not \nbe transmitted through any automated process. At the end of \nthe day, wood carving is one of the oldest arts of humankind \nand should therefore be valued as such.\nThis Italian family of master craftsmen has been collaborating \nwith Groël in the materialisation of design concepts for 25 \nyears. Their beginnings as woodcarvers date back to the start \nof the 20th century, where their great grandparents initiated \nthis career. Side by side, this family and Groël invest in detail \nand in the warm qualities of tradition to create the most \nergonomic product. \n \nIs there really any better way of giving birth to a door \nhandle design than with your own hands? A door handle is \nnot an ordinary object, it’s the harmonious connection \nbetween your hands and home.\n \nThis phase of idea materialisation is where we give shape to \nour initial sketch. By visualising the first concept in 3D and \nmanipulating it with this wooden texture, we notice every \naspect to be improved. At this point, we usually bring back \nour prototype to the studio where it gets seen by the whole \nteam, and any feedback is given. For the following process, \nthe modifications on the design are given to the woodcarver \nand accordingly applied on the prototype. We directly achieve \nthe final version, and if successful, the prototype travels onto \nthe next phase: mould generation.\n812.

Any decision \nwe take on the design revolves around this concept.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nIs your first sketch\u002Ftesting close to the end result?\nDAVID MORINI\nFor this project we had a clear idea in our mind and we were able to translate \nit, without compromises, into the finished product.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat challenges did you face when designing the lever \nhandle and what did you learn from this collaboration?\nDAVID MORINI\nWe didn’t face any big challenges since, during the entire development \nprocess, we had full comprehension from Groël, who are the professionals \nin this area at the end of the day. Thanks to this collaboration we learnt how \nmuch attention Groël dedicates to the design and production of handles. \nWe learnt that each piece is carefully produced firstly by hand with \nextreme expertise and later with the most advanced technology for quality \nstandard purposes.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nHow would you describe the end product?\nDAVID MORINI\nThe end products are timeless pieces suitable for every context. An interesting \nand modern uptake. Shift, the most acclaimed, representing the gesture \nof displacement. An offset and translated cylindrical shape becoming an \noriginal and provocative configuration. The Snap model represents the act \nof breaking. It’s a cylinder that is visually stopped by breaking right in the \nmiddle. A completely unprecedented and comfortable handle. Then the \nPair design represents the gesture of association. It’s the combination of a \ncircular and a hexagonal element, which in contrast, are unique to create \na balanced configuration.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nIn your opinion, what is the best finish \nfor the lever handle and what interiors would it suit?\nDAVID MORINI\nOur lever handles are designed to be passepartout pieces, capable to fit in \nany context, from the modern to the classic ones.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat do you expect from this lever handle commercially?\nDAVID MORINI\nHaving such a versatile design and finish, combined with very high quality, we \nexpect a positive reaction from the market.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nDoes this lever handle fit within Pelizzari Studio\nprojects\u002Fstyle?\nDAVID MORINI\nThe handles’ design fits perfectly with the aesthetic of Pelizzari Studio. \nWe used these models in several projects such as: Biagioni Salò Restaurant \n(Salò) and Classico Ristorante (Brescia).\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\n What’s Pelizzari Studio?\nDAVID MORINI\nPelizzari Studio is an architectural and interior design firm based in Milano \nand Brescia, Italy. Since 1991 we design villas, apartments, boutique hotels \nand restaurants. I would chose two strong differentiatiors to characterize \nour studio projects: profound know-how and eclecticism. A varied narrative, \nbecause “repetitive”, in Pelizzari Studio, doesn’t exist.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat are your values?\nDAVID MORINI\nOur values are absolute attention to the context in which we design, knowledge \nof materials and their declination within the project and a tailor-made \ndesign that characterizes each of our creations. These elements create unique \nenvironments where people can live a better life.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat were your inspirations for this model?\nDAVID MORINI\nThe idea came from observing hand gestures during the mundane actions \nof the daily life. We recognised three main movements and we translated \nthem into our design, giving birth to the Snap, Shift, and Pair models. \nAn aesthetic of deconstructed, broken and interrupted geometries, for a \ncontemporary and timeless collection.\n“What    is    our    motto?:\nbeauty is in the balance of space”\nDAVID MORINI\nCEO & Architect of PELIZZARI STUDIO\nGROËL’S COLLABORATIONS\n",91,{"image":370,"text":19,"number":371},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.92.png",92,{"image":373,"text":374,"number":375},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.93.png","93\nDESIGNED BY\nPELIZZARI Studio \nPHOTOGRAPHS\nMattia AQUILA\nGROËL’S PROJECTS\nPANICALE (ITALY)\nRastrello\nBoutique Hotel\n",93,{"image":377,"text":378,"number":379},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.94.png","For this project, the Pelizzari Studio has chosen the PALLINE handle.\n94\n",94,{"image":381,"text":382,"number":383},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.95.png","In a fourteenth-century nobility palace located in Panicale, \nItaly, Pelizzari Studio intervened with a restoration of \narchitectural conservation and a seismic improvement \nthanks to the inclusion of contemporary technological \nsystems and interior design.

We are \na multidisciplinary design firm in Barcelona working with 20 designers for \n20 years now. We blend creativity, production skills, business sense and visual \nmarketing into effective design projects. We basically are between interior \ndesign and product design.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nHow was the experience of designing a lever handle?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nWe have always loved lever handles as they are an essential element in our interior \ndesign projects. It’s a very detailed and unique product that is sometimes invisible \nfor many people, but for a designer it’s a very delicate piece - like jewelry. Designing \na lever handle was a completely new experience for us. We have designed so \nmany things during these past 20 years in the industry, from chairs to lighting, \nbut never a lever. Therefore, this experience has been very enriching and we \nhave learnt all the features to be considered when designing a lever handle. \nWe had to pay attention to so many aspects: the curves, the polishes, and the \nfinishes in order to make the proportion to be ergonomic.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat’s an important thing to consider when designing?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nIt’s crucial to firstly take into consideration that the creation must be functional but \nbeautiful. Functionality is not always beautiful, but what’s beautiful is always \nfunctional. That is why we firmly believe that beauty has the power to enhance \nanyone’s lifestyle. The second most important aspect is that it has to merge in \nevery type of project and style: from modern private housing, to classic hotels, \nor even nightclubs. This is what we were trying to do here, something that fits \nmany different contexts.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat challenges did you face when designing the lever \nhandle, and what did you learn from this collaboration?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nIn the market there are many levers, so introducing one with new ideas is difficult. \nWhen starting this project so new and different to us, we had the feeling of \n“everything has been invented, how can I make something new?”. For example, \na usual product design for us is a chair; there are many of them, and every single \none is different. On the one hand, a chair is composed by several structures, \n",102,{"image":411,"text":412,"number":413},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.103.png","such as the legs, back support, seat, arm support and with a greater surface \nthan a handle. This means that more variables can be modified and combined \nto give rise to a new product. A handle on the other hand, is distributed in a \nmuch smaller space, which means having to pay attention to each millimeter, \nbecause each millimeter matters even more – which isn’t easy. A handle must \nindeed be treated like a jewel.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nIs your first sketch\u002Fprototype close to the end result?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nNot really. At the beginning, the lever handle was shorter and thicker, and the \ngrip had more depth. We learnt the importance of taking special care of the \ntransition from the sketches, to the computerised design, to the 3D printed \nprototype to the final result. The key element is being conscious about the material, \nwhich is brass and is shiny, and results in a completely different appearance. \nThe wooden prototype and the 3D model compared to this polished brass or \nsatin brass model, don’t have anything to do with each other. It’s like a completely \ndifferent lever handle due to metal’s properties and presence. When designing \na lever handle, getting the right proportions is harder than expected. Groël \nmasters the proportions of the handle design, the transition between materials, \nand the market much better than us. This is why they helped us out through \nthe design process, to pull off the design in the best possible way. The aim of \ncollaborations at the end is just having designers sharing their experience and \nideas to create the best possible product.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nHow would you describe the end product?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nSuper well-done! A very high-quality material and finish. Absolutely surprising. \nThis lever handle combines both modern and classic style. From the front, it \nhas a flat surface with a more classic appearance. However, the back side is fully \nergonomic, giving a modern touch to this model. This has been a whole new \nexperience for me and the rest of the team because we have never done anything \nsimilar to this. We were all excited to see the end result and now we are all just \nin love with it.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nWhat, in your opinion, is the lever handle’s best finish? \nand what interior would it fit into?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nIn all interiors, modern or classic based on the selected finish. For the finishes, \nI’d personally say I prefer matt over shine - which is probably more classic. \nHowever, I think both would fit pretty well, it would only depend on the type \nof environment you’re trying to create.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nCommercially, what are your expectations?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nI will retire with this model. Absolutely.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nDoes this lever handle fit within Lagranja’s projects\u002Fstyle\nor is it very diverse?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nIt’s difficult for us to describe ourselves. We are a big group but we work very well \nbecause we have been together for a long time now, so we end up working the \nsame way. Nonetheless, every project is different and we also try to do every project \ndifferently from the previous. We try not to repeat ourselves but at the end, all our \nprojects have Lagranja’s essence of design, and we are proud of that.\nGROËL'S MAGAZINE\nDo you have a name in mind for this model?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nHonestly, my partner Gabrielle is more clever than me in this aspect. To be \nhonest I don’t really know. María has probably got something to say.\nMARÍA RUIZ (HEAD OF PRODUCT DESIGN & ART DIRECTOR)\nWhat do you think about Bimba?\nGERARD SANMARTÍ\nBimba? Perfect.

DEV\n Brown & White porcelain  finish\nThe rustic lever handles whose only material is brass, as is the case of the \nKilto model, stand out for their design and originality, fitting perfectly in \nany environment depending on the finish applied to them. Within the Kilto \ncollection we find the rose, the escutcheon, the keyhole and the pullhandle, \nwhich were conceived to complement the lever handle and thus provide \nany room with great harmony. Although brown is the most commonly \nselected finish, antique silver, satin or polished bronze and antique brass are \nequally adaptable to these environments. As a whole, they can be perfectly \ncombined with other materials such as porcelain or ebony wood.\nThe use of these materials, particularly \nporcelain, adds a delicate touch to classic \nand rustic designs, as is the case with Dev \nor Bel.la lever handle designs. Moreover, the \nporcelain used is not limited to white but, \nin order to blend in with the environment, \nGroël uses ivory-toned porcelain in both \nmodels. In the case of the Bel.la lever \nhandle and its matching doorknob, the \nvariety of porcelain is even more extensive \nand can go from a uniform beige to blue \ncraquelé.\nWarm and cosy atmospheres with \na rustic character have always had \na certain charm, especially in the \nMediterranean. Wooden interiors \nwith a soft warm lighting, rustic \nand robust furniture always give a \nsense of peace and well-being. \nDecorating these spaces with acces-\nsories in brown tonalities, antique \nsilver, bronze or antique brass is \nalways a success. It brings a touch of \noriginality to any rustic space. \nAt Groël, the variety of existing styles and the desire \nto adapt to any environment led to the creation of \nrustic models in which, with brass as the primary \nelement, the finishes and other materials, merge to \ncreate the perfect rustic lever handles.\nWRITTEN BY     Vanessa RUIZ\nPRODUCT DESIGNER    \nDaniel TORREGROSSA\n",109,{"image":437,"text":438,"number":439},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.110.png","809 Kilto\nTranscending time and fashion\nA perfect fit for classic and modern environments.

To illustrate this thought by some \nnotable examples, we can cite Gianni Versace, who said that \"black is the \nquintessence of simplicity and elegance\", as well as Yves Saint Laurent who \nstated that \"black symbolises the liaison of art and fashion\". There is little \nmore to add to these two premises, which so extol the value of this colour \nwith so many different connotations. \nDespite having been designated for centuries as a colour related to sobriety \nand mourning in Western society, from the 20th century onwards this trend \ntook a turn and fashion designers began to consider that, within this sober \nshade of black, there is an unparalleled elegance and sophistication simply \nby changing fabrics and styles in clothing and fashion accessories. Plunging \nnecklines, long mermaid tail dresses and short dresses like Coco Chanel's \nfamous petite robe noire, sequins, velvet, satin, silk, crystals and a multitude \nof materials that had been used for colourful dresses reserved for a high net \nworth audience are becoming trends thanks to their use in black suits and \naccessories that are becoming more and more accessible to a wider public. \nNowadays, the colour black has gained strength in fashion and it is considered \na basic for every item of clothing, a must in the wardrobes of anyone who \nfollows the style trends of the moment thanks to its versatility, sobriety, \nsensuality, glamour and discretion. A colour that combines with everything, \nthat can be the base of a canvas or the nuance that decorates it. However, \nblack has gone beyond the barriers of fashion design and has adapted to \nother fields of design such as interior design. \nToday, a multitude of styles are latent in society in terms of construction \nand interior design. The same architectural trend is no longer followed \nin a town, unless the aim is to maintain the style of the town itself, as is \nthe case of the old quarter of Altea (Alicante), but architects now let their \nimagination run wild and capture their whims in \nnew constructions or renovations, creating different \natmospheres in the same city. In the same way, the \ninterior design of a home, creativity comes to the \nfore and the most personal style of each individual \ncan be seen. To this end, it is becoming more and \nmore common to create semi-open spaces that \navoid permanent construction elements and opt \nfor decoration to the taste of its owner with \nelements that adapt easily to the environment.\nGROËL'S EDITORIAL\n",137,{"image":546,"text":547,"number":548},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fc2\u002F37ad3584bf00b31c440630b5ad562f-28fc22f104.138.png","138\nPioneers\nof black\nThe interior decoration accessories, far from being rococo and \nwanting to overload the environments, are dedicated to giving \nsmall touches of colour bringing warmth to the spaces, regardless \nof the tone that has been chosen.

While light tones are used on walls, \ndoors and ceilings to make rooms more spacious combined with \nmirrors and large windows to let in more natural light, accessories \nstand out for their colour and personality.
