The 'NEXXA' door handle has been designed by Zaha Hadid Design for London-based Izé as a sculptural yet highly functional fixture for the home or office. The handle is characterized by its ergonomic aesthetic that will position itself on a door as a functional work of art that is perfect for adding a touch of understated style to a space. The handle maintains a vertical instead of horizontal resting position in order to further differentiate it from other lever-style handles on the market.
The 'NEXXA' door handle is intended to finish off ultra-modern spaces with a further touch of architectural style and is available in a number of special finishes that have been chosen by Zaha Hadid Design.
