But it is not just its timeless design that has made Nova so successful. No object can stand up to continuous, everyday use on the basis of its looks alone. Nova is a modern classic because it represents an excellent integration of form and function, of aesthetics and mechanical precision.

It was during that period in which ergonomic principles were beginning to be applied to the most everyday objects, that the Nova mechanism — which lies at the heart of PremiApri — proved to be a winning design, capable of opening a door with the simple press of a button. It is a patented system that has passed with flying colours the most rigorous tests conducted by prestigious international laboratories and continues, even today, to represent an unrivalled alternative to the traditional door handle.
