hands on door handles

twirl

by federico archidiacono from italy

designer's own words:

A simple strip of metal that twists through the movement of your hand which lies back comfortably.
The creative process starts with the sketch, becomes a series of prototypes, and then only at the end, it becomes a three dimensional image.
Shaping clay with the hands, we have come to define the correct twist to be applied to the tape, the right thickness, the right ergonomics wich allows the thumb to find its convenient location. In summary, we have embraced the title of the competition: hands-on door handles.
A simple gesture that means a simple process. We also plan the possibility of matching different materials with the steel, depending on the type of environment and door with which the handle will establish a relationship.
