Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The shape and the form of lines the combination of volumes and also the way is mixed to each junction give us the final result of the handle. It has net, strict lines suitable for every contemporary house. Its an object from an architectural perspective which is how I perceive things around me and how the external forms should access the interior space.
- Inspiration
- The first idea for designing a handle, came to me when i visited Salone del Mobile in Milan last year. Specifically the showroom of "OLIVARI" company which is the best in this field and impressed me at once. I thought that it is a very common and pracrtical object in daily life. I have a special love into he Bauhaus movement so I've been inspired by that, and started drawing mostly in a square shape.
- Research
- The shape was clearly squared in my mind from the beginning. A greatest approach was given to the ergonomic use of it and of course on the texture and its color.
- Challenge
- There was a challenge to create something fresh, contemporary and modern that will make the buyer excited from the first sight.
- Realization and Technology
- The handle was digitally designed using cad & 3d modeling software. It can be produced in silver, golden, bronze mat or polished or any other range of colors.
- Operation and Interaction
- The shape of the handle facilitates our human motion sequences.
- Project Duration and Location
- This project is in a concept stage & has not been prototyped or constructed. The concept work started in Decemder of 2015 & ended in end of January 2016.
