Description
K Handle Mandelli 1953
Design Alessandro Dubini
The approach to this project was certainly nonconformist, far from the limits and traditional associations, but rethinking and re imagining the conventions and use of this object. Simple and clean lines converge to form a minimalist whole. Visually light and essential, “K” is an object with an innovative and ingenious design, but above all with great functionality that allows different ways of fixing and use.


1. Mark out a square area (1) approximately 10 cm on each side to position the handle.
2. Degrease the chosen area with the cleaning wipe, always working in the same direction.
3. Use the same method to degrease the recess (2) of the handle
which will house the adhesive strip (3).
4. Remove the adhesive film from one side of the adhesive strip and position it in the recess.
5. Press firmly over the entire surface for about ten seconds.
6. Select the desired handle orientation.
7. After removing the remaining protective film, apply the handle to the door in the degreased area,
maintaining perpendicularity with a set square, then press firmly
for about ten seconds.
NB. You'll have a couple of minutes to remove it and, if necessary, change its position.
After one hour, the seal will be 50% firm, while 100% will be achieved after 72 hours.
8. In the double-handle configuration, position the second handle, keeping it
in contact with the other.
