Since 1934, Italian brand has redefined architectural hardware, transforming the humble door handle from a functional necessity into an iconic piece of interior design. Crafted in Brianza, Italy, Valli levers unite sculptural elegance, ergonomic balance, and long-term durability.

Available at AC Leigh, the Valli collection offers specifiers, architects, and interior designers a complete architectural ironmongery system. Featuring advanced, hard-wearing PVD finishes—including Matt Black, Satin Brass, and Antique Brass—alongside matching escutcheons, turn and releases, and accessories, Valli hardware delivers a seamless, design-led finish across any luxury residential or commercial project.

“Guided by a humanist vision and a conscious approach to aesthetics, Valli stands out for its ability to transform ideas into experiences, thanks to collaborations with some of the world’s most extraordinary architects and designers.” - Valli.

“In founding the company that still bears his name, Pasquale Valli imagined the handle as a work of art, a sculpture with its own personality. Not just an industrial mechanism, but the synthesis of function and aesthetics, brought together in a single artefact.” - Valli.

"Some of the world's leading architects and designers have moulded Valli's collections with their visions and suggestions, reinterpreting classic models or igniting the imagination with unconventional and utterly irreverent shapes and solutions. The dialogue with the authors is an extraordinary opportunity to stress the potential of materials, explore the variety of finishes and take the possibilities of form into new territories where design had not yet arrived." - Valli.

🔑 The Key Guru 🔑

"If you need a key cut this is the place to come. There’s a guy who works in the key cutting department who’s like some key Guru, he knows everything, anything he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing.

On several occasions when I’ve took keys to lesser places to be cut I’ve been told “not possible” or “can’t be done” and so on but that’s because they are not the guru.

On several occasions I’ve took these type of keys in and he’s managed to cut one that works. I needed a key for my motorcycle panniers, I took the spare key in which he said was an unusual key and if possible could I bring the panniers in and he’d make the key to fit the lock, 30 minutes later and it was done, same service again today with another unusual key and they don’t even charge that much considering the time spent for this kind of service."

P.S. It's Keith, Keith is the guru.
