Omporro presents its newest and innovative stainless steel handle collection.
Two age-old elements – metal and water – find a new use in a futuristic, eco-friendly technology. The result is a line of handles that are strong, lightweight and ergonomically pleasing – an appealing new tactile sensation, like a gentle wave transformed into steel.
Aquaform handles are presented in three different forms: curved, linear and long linear. Each form can be combined with three different shapes of the stainless steel tube: constant cylindrical, cylindrical and oval, cylindrical and squared.
Innovative Technology
Hydroforming uses high pressure water to mould stainless steel into the desired shape. OMPorro is the first company to use this technology to produce handles.
Ergonomic Shape and Surfaces
The product design and the use of hydroforming technology combine to create handles that feel smoother and more appealing to grip.
Resilience and Durability
The shape and hollow structure increase durability, lending natural strength and greater resilience to the stainless steel.
Technology, design, environment
Hydroforming can change the cross-section and shape of a steel tube, expanding it through the pressure of water, transforming a cylindrical cross-section into one that is oval or squared, while maintaining a constant thickness. The structural strength therefore remains unaltered, and the process also uses fewer natural resources, thereby protecting the environment.

Fixing System
The standard fixing system for AQUAFORM models is suitable for use on wood and glass doors, aluminium fixing system is available upon request. Escutcheon with cylinder hole included.
BIOPROOF® and fingerprint resistant finish
The AQUAFORM line includes the antibacterial Bio Proof® coating that also gives to the product the anti-touch properties that protect stainless steel from fingerprints. Thanks to its ability to release silver ions, the Bioproof® finish has antibacterial properties, which have been proven effective in numerous laboratory tests performed by public and private organisations. The Bioproof coating do not alter the chromatic quality of the varnish.
