Having trained in Spain as an architect, Anca now works from a London design studio, discovering that attention to the finest details is what inspires her creativity and gives her more control over and satisfaction with the final result. Anca is well known in the industry for her playful and versatile designs, her understanding of space, her use of geometric shapes and lines, and her colourful yet elegant style. She shares the same values as Joseph Giles, making this collaboration extra special. Our exacting perfectionism, which came to light during previous projects with Anca, particularly attracted her to working with us.

Through close collaboration and precision engineering, the team created the handsome curve in the Arrieta lever that gives its distinctive mid-century style. Epoxy powder coating was chosen for its perfect levels of sheen and durability, providing the colour snap on the spherical handle elements. Classic Joseph Giles metallic finishes such as dark waxed bronze and midnight black were selected for the Arietta II range, achieving a more elegant and sophisticated look. As in all our lever handles, the inner rota-bearing sprung rose mechanism was equipped in the Arrieta to grant smooth, precise operation every time. This unique industry-leading system eliminates drooping and wobbling for many years to come.
