Dnd door and window handles in the new Natural Brass and Natural Aluminum finishes

An international point of reference for the production of handles that focus on quality and design, Dnd offers two new finishes that enhance both the raw material and the modeling work: Natural Brass and Natural Aluminum. Resulting from an ethical, technical and aesthetic research journey, this range extension will be presented at SICAM 2026, in the Dnd exhibition space (Hall 1, Stand B14).

Dnd natural finishes: the work of time

The finishes Natural Brass and Natural Aluminum have a distinctive characteristic, perhaps unusual for an industrial object, but extremely evocative: they evolve over time through use and contact, developing uniquely varied tones. The shifting appearance gives the forms dynamism, using chiaroscuro effects that change depending on the viewing angle and lighting. 

These natural finishes Dnd extend their presence to new collections. Already available on the handles Palm in the Natural Brass version and on Pencil in the Natural Aluminum version, both designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, they will also be extended to the handles Anik, Ginkgo, Isabella and Viva! (in Natural Brass), as well as to Blend AG, Crisalide, Crisalide Mini and Timeless (in Natural Aluminum).

Sustainable finishes

The sustainable aspect of these new finishes also plays an important role. Compared to traditional treatments, these finishes reduce processing stages by 25%, lower energy consumption by up to 90% and decrease waste production from 15–20% to 2–3%. In addition, they make it possible to produce 100% recyclable products.  

The reduced handling of parts during production results in a further reduction of CO emissions of up to 60%, to which adds the share of renewable energy generated by the dedicated plants present in the company.
