| well in the beginning…there were just sketches… |  |
| …then the first foam cement prototypes were made… |  |
| which were then cut from solid marble blocks… |  |
| and eventually we made the first marble prototype… |   |
| only to realize that it was too heavy for most doors…. so we tried again trying to keep the weight parameter in our minds… simpler and lighter designs… |  |
| they too, were prototyped in foam cement and later in marble… |  |
| the first marble I – beam was made, followed by the first series of prototypes, all made using traditional equipment… |  |
| then, we started trying to reach their breaking points…It turned out that although they eventually did break, this only happened when excessive pressure was applied to a single fixing point…When the door pull was properly placed on a door it could take all the punishment we could give it… | 
|
|
however, although found the breaking points, we discovered that even the best efforts using traditional tools, were lacking in accuracy. We then turned towards automated CNC milling production…new prototypes, new problems…
|
 |
| our first CNC door pull fresh out of the machine… |  |
| then we finally resolved the accuracy problem and even made dimension control templates to certify the exact dimensions with 0,5 mm tolerance. |  |
| once the accuracy problem was solved the next one was the secure fixing of the door pulls… back to the drawing board…and screen…. |  |
| in the same way we have tested all the materials and components that go into our products, and here we are… the first production level prototypes… |  |
