Pepe Interior Door Lever Set

The Pepe Lever Set by Verum Italy is a door lever from the Nuda collection, defined by a slightly flared neck that transitions into a rounded rectangular grip — balanced and tactile in hand. Like all Nuda pieces, the lever mounts directly into the door without a rose, creating a clean, modern profile. Made in Italy.

A key design feature is the absence of a rose backplate, making these handles unsuitable for pre-bored doors.
