Ento

Ento is a Salice Paolo brand – a historic classic handle company founded in Cantù in 1937. It is positioned in the high-end of the market and distributed to more than 80 countries.

In 2018, after years of investments in its modern range, Fabrizio and Luisa Salice, together with the creative director Davide Diliberto, split it from the rest of the classic catalogue, to give the range its best chance of development and to create an independent brand.

Ento inherits the same extended quality and true Made in Italy concept, with the exclusive use of brass and controls on 100% of samples in all finishing stages.

Design builds a strong, coordinated image, a careful and never padded communication. This led to the range separation following the Architectural, Aesthetic and Special Product concept. It is a choice dictated by the desire to facilitate architects, interior designers and customers in the research and selection phase of the accessories to be included in their projects. For the same reason, we aim to extend each range according to its aesthetic and functional potential to make the widest variants and accessories to complete a project with the most coordinated elements possible. The Coordinating Tool gives an immediate overview of the available options, suggests consistent combinations and allows a quick and effective dialogue with the company when preparing a purchase order.

Each new product is created in collaboration with internationally renowned designers and emerging talents, who can imagine precise use contexts, combinations and trends, following Ento’s philosophy.

Architectural space design involves elements and furnishing accessories. Hardware for doors and windows falls into the latter category, which is often seen as secondary when it can be a precious resource for discreetly defining a project’s personality.

The ENTO handle approach is based on its complementary function and appearance. Our name is an incomplete word, just like doors and windows without mechanisms that allow them to be opened or closed.

The range products design is a personal vision, which avoids any extremes.

Ento offers designers a high-quality alternative in the field of door and window handles.
