Please note, this product is made to order and quantity discounts are available.
PRODUCT STORY
The Arrieta handle draws inspiration from some of the most iconic designs of the 20th century. These include the classic 1950s Ball Clocks by American modernist designer George Nelsons, and the incredible juguetes del viento (giant wind toys) by Spanish artist César Manrique on his home island of Lanzarote. Arrieta is the name of the village where the first of Manrique’s dynamic installations was commissioned in 1992. The product design came from the form and appearance of the manual handle of a coffee grinder.
The Arrieta II handle was created through collaboration with internationally acclaimed architect and interior designer Anca Rotaru. She is known for her playful yet versatile designs, her understanding of space, and her fresh, colourful yet elegant style. It is made from solid brass, and available in a selection of signature Joseph Giles finishes, exuding a modern yet refined aesthetic.
