“Before the door handle was put in production it was cast.
Although the origin and geometry of its shape comes from a folded flat piece, the handle enjoys the play between the volume that is required for a comfortable grip and the lines of the folded plate, and a game of two tones (i.e. we can see the external polished side contrasted with the matt finish inside).
There is also a dimple in the pivoting point which provides a natural thumb grip.
In terms of material, surface treatment and overall form, the design of the handle is clearly related to other pieces I was designing at that time.”
