For designer to create inclusive spaces means to design flexible and multi-purpose spaces aiming at accommodating different needs. TOCCO hardware Collection is designed to offer hardware choices, a commonly considered accessory - but the first object touched to access a space. TOCCO is the first hardware collection made of 316L stainless steel and ECONYL®, 100% regenerated nylon from waste that offers a range of levers and pulls, sustainable, interchangeable and sensory sensitive, with infinite color options and two handle grips, smooth or textured, to meet the tactile and visual preferences.
