The handles and the knob of the pieces are riveted and made of stainless steel but with a polished finish, which contrasts with the brushed finish body of the pots and saucepan, giving the saucepan a modern, highly stylish look. A cookware set inspired by the past, designed to meet the demands of today’s kitchen.
