string&wood

string&wood by pablo uriarte from spain

designer's own words:

three ideas are combined within this unconventional design for a door handle: warmth of wood, weakness of string and practicality of the mechanism.
emphasizing the nudity of the handle by using the minimum elements possible is what the idea comes up for. it is an skeleton wearing a prosthesis, or a broken tool clumsily fixed, but delicate and refined pieces make it a very special design.
wooden door handles are not very usual nowadays, so this item means a new way of thinking about the domestic world and how materials can change our perception of it. a warm wooden handle definitely opens a cozy room...
