claesson koivisto rune has developed ‘soft’, a hybrid between a generic door handle and a design one, that is both playful and strict at the same time. when seen from the front, soft appears like a normal handle, yet, when viewed from a higher angle, its smooth, curved angles reveal a surprising form that is the result of careful ergonomic research of the hand and its grip.claesson koivisto rune develops soft door handle for turn with thick lever and round edges designboom

created for turn, a new brand established in singapore in 2017 that aims to create innovative door handles, ‘soft’ features a thicker than normal lever that sits exceptionally well in the hand and lends it an iconic appearance. claesson koivisto rune aimed at designing a fitting that works ‘equally well within normal, modernist, futuristic as well as classic architecture.’ additional to the collection, the swedish architectural partnership has also developed a soft, square knob along the same principles. claesson koivisto rune develops soft door handle for turn with thick lever and round edges designboomclaesson koivisto rune develops soft door handle for turn with thick lever and round edges designboomclaesson koivisto rune develops soft door handle for turn with a thick lever and round edgesclaesson koivisto rune develops soft door handle for turn with a thick lever and round edges
