cactus by gianfranco vasselli from italy
designer's own words:
cactus: in this case the inspiration comes from the wrinkles forming when you clench your fist. this door handle recalls a cross formally. perhaps it looks unpleasant as its shape is not exactly inspired by affordance, however it is comfortable to use and unexpectedly ergonomic. the lever is formally simple, it is the result of a fusion process and is fixed on the pin with a small screw without usual top head.
