The Door

The Door by paul ketz from germany

designer's own words:

THE DOOR

A door - a barrier between areas, a portal between two worlds. A door handle is the interface between a user and a door, which has the implicit ability to value a room and to foreshadow its "face". This concept has neither a handle nor a knob in a conventional way. So how to reach a place or rather a room, in which one can find the sanctum of one's private cosmos?

1. At the end of the corridor one beholds the door. In it, embedded at eye level: a black polished hollow. A pillar standing in front with a stone bedded in a second hollow on top. Inserting shapes into matching openings, already learned in childhood, is performed intuitively. Thus one grabs the stone, which acts as the key.

2. One presses the stone into the door's hollow, to unlock it by magnetic magic and strides through the gate.

[The unlock process works with an magnetic fitting inside the door. The concave metalstone's surface is rough rubberized.]
