Didieffe
Didieffe's strong identity, rooted as it is in our products and market, has been achieved thanks to our constant and relentless activity first on local level and then across the borders. This is the result of a consistent commitment to develop our mission which is to carry on the production of fittings for door and window frames as well as for wood furniture traditionally associated to handicraft. These manufactured products were originally associated to pre-Alpine-styled houses, a house style characterizing the area around Belluno but that can also be found in many other areas with a similar environmental context. Over the last twenty years or so Didieffe has been able to enhance the age-old heritage of the days when the locksmith was working side by side with the carpenter to manufacture products which were a perfect combination of metal working and wood craft.
Emtek Products Inc.
Emtek is dedicated to bringing interesting, well made hardware back into American homes. Until about 1930 there was a proud history of hardware in America. Hundreds of small factories made an enormous variety of creatively designed products. Craftsmen from many disciplines devoted their energies to making locks that provided both function and beauty. Unfortunately, during the depression many of these factories failed, and then during WWII brass became scarce and lock designs were reduced to the bare essentials. In more recent years the emphasis on cheap, high volume building products has discouraged manufacturers from re-introducing well made hardware. But now these ideas are changing, Americans are re-discovering the satisfaction that comes from owning well designed products. Emtek's mission is to make it possible for home owners to apply these higher expectations to door locks. We are striving to provide a broad, interesting range of products that consumers can use as elements of decor, not just as a way to latch a door.

Mariani
Forty years in business - an important market position are the assets of a company that has changed generations also in terms of its ownership structure, reaching a turning point in terms of dynamism and paving the way for technological innovation. With Nicola Leali now at the helm, Mariani is decisively focusing its research on alternative materials. In particular, there is an entire catalogue devoted to stainless steel, with a comprehensive project that goes from handles to accessories - but without overlooking safety factors [safety plate and strike]. Mariani's "study and research" departiment also works closed with companies specialising in robotics that are open to innovation and to attempting news ideas. The design aspect has been developed with the support of the After Design studio, a young and dynamic company. MARIANI, them young handles Following the generational change. Mariani is now headed by an entrepreneur who is under 30 and is thus in touch with the reeds and expectations of younger customers. The concepts distinguishing this market segment are a love for design, quality and practicability, coupled with the search for less expensive items. The new Aladin and Pegaso models, in the various finishes that have been presented, successfully unite all the different expectactations of the younger age bracket. The lines characterising the new models move away from traditional forms, and their market prices are decidedly "sift", to meet the needs of consumers on a limited budget.
Olivari
The rediscovery of arts and crafts Historical categories and critical classifications - especially those regarding the heroic period of modernism - are losing their meaning in this end of the century (or end of the millennium). What seems to finally be emerging in an awareness that rather than technologies, industrial processes or sociological conditioning, it is an autonomous design culture that determines the forms of objects. It is necessary to act, as designers and as manufacturers, outside of any predeterminated schemes; the only constraints are function, economy, beauty. Don't be fooled by the variety of forms and connotations of the objects produced by Olivari. These products are the result of meticulous research, of decisions pondered and discussed at length. The main concern of the company and of the designers called upon to participate is not the sterile pursuit ofnovelty for its own sake. It is to discover, through persistant study, new paths for the relationship between man and architecture, even in the simple interface of hand and handle: our small, humble, indispensable everyday sculpture.
