Inside the hall of the Pasticceria Balla, in Ivrea, a magnifi cent helicoidal staircase rises, a unique project created by Astec using laser-cut iron plate, bead-blasted and waxed, with its particular banisters whose design is repeated in other decorative elements inside the hall. Among the other specially made objects, there is the emblem of the Pasticceria made from copper alloy.
