designer's own words:

consolidating the study, we reached the following conclusions.

ergonomics Features
handle have contour gripping and an elongated shaft.
the grip is contoured so that it corresponds to the natural position and angles of the palm and hand, featuring a S-shaped curvature which results in a depression in which the fingers can rest.
there should not be any confusion for usage.
the shape be handful and should have better grip & suitable for majority hands (5th and 95th percentile)

formal language
the form is meant to be unique with is simple, sleek, clean and natural flow & grip.
we as a team also tried to identify today’s style.
three main features of contemporary styling are
1. organic yet well defined form.
2. asymmetry
3. less articulated and more experienced

experience
a handle should be visually as well as physically tactile.
it has to have an alluring first impression; it should be visually well proportioned.
the design should bring in an element of surprise and should also be in accordance with the contemporary style.
one should feel a sense of richness, ease and style at the same time.

manufacturing
we have assumed that the product could be either casted like traditional products or could be injection moulded.

after defining the basic requirement, we started looking for inspiration
and we looked at all exclusive; have me products.
that included exploration of hardware, toilet ware, jewelry, natural forms that bring in the enticing quality.

we looked at water bubbles for the ethereal quality. it was interesting to study how the surface tension of two bubbles leads to interesting forms. we have tried to bring in the momentary beauty to a long lasting form.
