The IKI handle has a palindromic structural form: the profile in the view from above is identical to that of the frontal view, but reversed by 180 degrees.
An elegant, essential form in which the clean angles generate a mutable volume
that concludes with semi-circular forms and suggests the proper grip with its frontal profile.
The concept of balance between opposites derived from Japanese philosophy has prompted the designers to choose the name IKI – another palindrome – which means “simple, sophisticated, spontaneous”.
