designer's own words:

Door handle is not a separate object, it is part of a whole - part of door and space. It is a simple graphic detail which has function of inviting and informing you about space behind it. It informs people, for example, in whose office they are entering, it informs blind people so they know where they are going at the same time when they touch the door handle, it informs hotel personnel if the room is available to clean.
Door handle also allows simple use when we have busy hands (we open with elbow).
With it subtle form and simplicity it imbeds with environment very easily.
Material for door handle is arbitrarily; stainless steel, aluminum, brass…colored, with carved inscription, with braille letters, with frame to put signs inside (like “do not disturb”) but always simple to use and produce.
