Bespoke handles
The handle is the first point of contact with a piece of furniture, where material, gesture and attention to detail meet.
YDF makes handles to drawing, combining craftsmanship and technical precision to create distinctive solutions tailored to each project.
The detail that defines the space
In interior design, even a functional element can help define a space's identity. A handle is one such element: the first point of contact with a furnishing, where form, material and finish become an experience.
YDF develops bespoke handles from the Materia, Forma and Trama collections, adapting geometries, proportions and processes to each project's specifications. These are components made to drawings rather than standard solutions, in dialogue with the architectural language and chosen materials.
The same metalworking expertise extends to other furnishings, coordinating materials and finishes to create visual continuity and design consistency throughout the space.
Materia, Forma and Trama
The three collections explore different possibilities: Materia starts with the texture of brass, Forma with proportions and Trama with the design of the relief.
Materia
Brass as a language, texture as a signature. Four starting textures, Linear, Skin, Magma and Moon, to interpret in bespoke designs.
Forma
Understated on the surface. Proportions, cross-section, finish, colour and contrast between components are the designer's choices.
Trama
Relief creates rhythm: a soft cylindrical texture, in bronzed brass for Trama Brass or painted aluminium for Trama Color.
Materia: the depth of brass
Bronze-finished brass handle, with customisable dimensions to suit each project's requirements.
It is offered in four original textures, four distinct surface identities, available as starting points for bespoke development:
- Linear
- Skin
- Magma
- Moon
Forma: the designer's choices
An aluminium handle with an understated design. It offers broad compositional freedom, from the simplicity of a single-colour finish to combinations of different metals within the same piece.
- Proportions: designed to suit the door or furnishing
- Cross-section: the handle profile, chosen for the project
- Finish: choose from the sample range and variations developed for the project
- Colour: tones coordinated with the rest of the space
- Contrast: different metals and finishes among the components of the same piece
Trama: relief creates rhythm
A contemporary handle inspired by rustication, an iconic feature of traditional architecture. Its soft, rhythmic relief wraps around the cylindrical form, creating plays of light that reveal the depth of the surface.
One geometry, two material interpretations:
- Trama Brass: bronzed brass in light and dark shades
- Trama Color: painted aluminium, with colour palettes developed for the project

Bespoke handles: frequently asked questions
Do you make handles in small quantities?
The handles are designed for each project and can be made in small quantities, coordinating their finish with the room's other metal furnishings.
Which finishes are available?
YDF offers a selection of finishes as a starting point, with the option to develop custom variants to suit the visual and material qualities of the space.
Can the handles be coordinated with other furnishings?
Yes: we also develop the project's other metal furnishings using the same materials and finishes, creating visual continuity throughout the space. See Bespoke design development.
