Chi   匙

Chi 匙 by yi-han cao from australia

designer's own words:

"chi" meaning spoon in chinese, this contemporary door handle is inspired by the classic chinese soup spoon. by abstracting the simple lines of this ubiquitously used object in chinese cuisine, "chi" re-purposes an everyday tool into a door handle. the lever handle is attached to the base of the door knob as though scooping a dumpling with a spoon. this gesture is seen mirrored in the chinese character for spoon (匙).
