metal+glass door handles by seng hwee lim from singapore

designer's own words:

“Metal + glass” door handles is about adapting materials to suit contemporary architecture. Contemporary high-rise buildings use double glazed windows as a facade along with structural steel. It researches on architectural material: glass to replace partially of metal in a set of interior door handles. Using Eco-compatible manufacturing/design processes from the Apple Iphone’s design, tempered glass: aluminosilicate glass is shaped into an ergonomically handle & a rose. With architectural breakthroughs, glass is now shock resistant, scratch resistant and stronger. It resists daily scratches by keys (coating on metal handle faints easily which is a maintenance & appearance issue)& is not easily broke from 2metres fall height. It can come with/without locks for all colored interiors of residences/public. The product can be manufactured & a mock-up was completed recently. Moreover, the whole handle set is made up of recyclable materials like glass, steel & brass. Online e.g. Samsung Galaxy si9000 screen scratch resistant test.
