petal to metal

petal to metal by marcus warren from new zealand

designer's own words:

Nature eternally inspires me.
This form presents a certain life and directional dynamic with its reference to a petal of a daisy flower.

The shape in conjunction with the brushed anodized aluminum finish of the petal accentuate the dynamic nature of this handle and furthermore in the way that the handle plunges into the ring.

A further cue from nature can be seen in the inverted droplet of water towards the tip of the handle, this detail is then repeated and expanded upon on the ring dictating to the user that the handle is to be turned.

'Petal to Metal' describes this plagiarism of nature by man - i mean me!
