A handle is the first point of contact with a space—the precise moment where material, design, and experience come together.
At YDF, a handle is never just an accessory; it is the calling card of a room. That is why our solutions are not created from a catalogue logic, but are conceived as truly bespoke responses, tailored to the unique needs of every project.
We shape materials through exceptional finishes: from brass to antique bronze and the warmth of gold, from the brilliance of chrome to aluminium, through to the precision of steel, brushed stainless steel, and powder-coated iron.
From this vision emerge three distinct design expressions: Materia, Forma, and Trama.
Materia: Brass as a language. Texture as a signature.
A collection created for those who seek authentic design—pieces that express the depth, character, and timeless appeal of crafted brass.
Linear, Skin, Magma, and Moon: four signature textures that serve as the starting point for endless customisation. Four distinctive identities, each ready to tell its own unique story.
Forma: minimal in appearance. Infinite in possibility.
Geometric purity meets complete design freedom.
With Forma, YDF gives designers total control over every aspect of the handle. Proportions, profiles, finishes, colours, and material contrasts become fully customisable variables, allowing each piece to integrate seamlessly with the identity of the project.
From the discipline of monochrome to the refined dialogue between different metals, every choice contributes to creating a coherent and distinctive design element.
For those who seek the highest level of customisation without compromising the essential purity of design.
Trama: relief as rhythm. Material as presence.
Among architecture's oldest design languages, rustication has always brought strength and depth to surfaces.
Trama draws inspiration from this heritage, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. Its softly sculpted cylindrical relief captures light differently throughout the day, giving the handle an almost jewel-like quality.
The collection is available in two distinctive versions:
Trama Brass: crafted in bronzed brass, available in both light and dark finishes, where every raised detail enhances the richness of the material, capturing and reflecting light with understated elegance.
Trama Color: crafted in painted aluminium with bespoke colour palettes developed specifically for each project. The finish has an almost sculptural quality, where the relief is experienced through touch even before it is perceived by the eye.
Some details cannot be explained—they can only be experienced.
Our handles do more than complete an interior. They are distinctive design statements, created to be truly unique, reflecting the identity and telling the story of those who inhabit the space.
