uovo

Studio Olivari 1957
M108

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.

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.
