Hands on Door Handles — Design Competition

Architectural forms is a set of three handles, inspired by the contemporary architecture. The idea is derived from the I-beam – probably the most popular structural element today and the method of cutting holes in it to achieve lightness and transparency. Three basic geometric forms are chosen – hexagon, circle and triangle. The resulting design looks rigid and strong yet slim and elegant, just like the buildings it is intended for.

 

The handles should be made from stainless steel to ensure the strength required by the thin profile. An option for painted finish could be provided, to match the colour of the railing and other metal elements.
