The design of brigata is above all the design of a handle. A recognizable element with excellent functionality. The starting point can be found in the handles for professional pots, made from pipes pressed, bent, welded or riveted. From here we started to define something confortable and balanced, shifting the concept from constructive brutality towords a formal elegance that manifests itself from the hook to the final part, tapered, curved and welded to the various elements that define the functions of each of the six pieces.
