    Luminous handrail by Olev

Ottomano: The Luminous Handrail Designed by Michele Marcon for Olev.

Ottomano is not just a handrail but an innovative lighting system that blends design, functionality, and aesthetics. Designed by Michele Marcon for Olev, this masterpiece stands out for its ability to illuminate both indoor and outdoor spaces with elegance and safety.

Unique Design and Ergonomic Versatility

Made of aluminum, Ottomano features an 8-sided profile that combines ergonomics with beauty. This sophisticated design makes it not only a functional element but also a decorative detail with a strong visual impact, capable of enhancing any staircase.

Dual Light Source for Perfect Illumination

The true innovation of Ottomano lies in its integrated dual LED light source:

  • Lower lighting: ensures safety by precisely illuminating the steps.
  • Inner lighting: projects light onto the wall, creating a diffused effect that enhances the entire environment without causing glare.

This combination ensures both functionality and ambiance, transforming any staircase into a striking journey.

Customization and Modularity

Each piece is custom-made to meet the specific requirements of the project. The ability to create angled compositions allows for the decoration and illumination of staircases of any shape or size, offering endless customization possibilities.

Awards and Visionary Creativity

Ottomano is the result of an innovative design approach that began with a hand-drawn sketch by Michele Marcon, drawn to a 1:1 scale. This work earned the Honorable Mention at the 2020 European Product Design Award, recognizing its revolutionary design.

A New Standard in Lighting

With Ottomano, Michele Marcon and Olev demonstrate how design can elevate even the most technical elements, turning them into focal points of a space. A handrail that not only illuminates but creates a unique sensory experience.
Where light and design meet to create a timeless masterpiece: Ottomano.
