In the panorama of contemporary architecture, where window design is increasingly focused on the utmost enhancement of light and space, Master Italy presents NIX, the innovative concealed handle for tilt-and-turn and shutter systems. This solution takes minimalism to the extreme – to the idea of “nothingness” for a handle that is there but unseen. Indeed, the NIX handle is entirely recessed within the window profile. MasterLAB’s designers conceived the idea in response to the need to integrate functionality and design, eliminating any superfluous components to make way for the purity of lines and centrality of the glass and profiles.
“NIX is the ideal product for those seeking the functionality of a tilt-and-turn system without any visible handle,” Lorenzo Lafronza, Master Group Technical Director, tells us. “The handle is made of zamak with stainless-steel and galvanised-steel mechanisms and fasteners, available in a broad range of colours, including with special and customised finishes, to perfectly match the design of the window or door, even for special projects.”
NIX is even designed to minimise installation times. All that is required is a simple milling operation along the profile, then the handle is affixed with a grub screw, connected to the movement of the rod mechanism by means of screws and pins.
“The maximum enhancement of the minimalist aesthetics of NIX is achieved in combination with our WEEN Hide 180, the tilt-and-turn system with concealed hinges, designed for super minimalist windows,” continued Francesco Simone, Master’s Chief Sales & Marketing. “This combination represents the pinnacle of minimalism, where the handle completely merges and integrates with the window and the hinges are fully concealed, making way for the purity of the lines and underscoring the minimalist profiles.”
Master Italy confirms its leading role in innovating new-generation doors and windows, offering solutions that combine technical excellence with aesthetic vision.
