insieme

insieme by michael liu from usa

designer's own words:

the hand to handle interaction is what inspired the italian name insieme, meaning together. the form intentionally has a drooping but sleek direction that emphasizes the hand motion when opening a door, almost as if the casted metal is malleable. the handle is the most crucial and emotional part of the system which is why it should work with the user and not be viewed as a mounted object.
