paramano handle

paramano handle by alban jaunay from france

designer's own words:

as an interface between the user and the door, the handle is where all risks focuses.
I choose to highlight this danger by a handle shaped to protect the hand, like hand guards on ski poles.

I expect the protective shape of the handle to have an impact on the feeling of opening a door.
the paramano handle show the user how brave he is to open doors, and both give him the feeling that he is doing it in secure.
