CONCRETE DOOR HANDLE

CONCRETE DOOR HANDLE by andreas kyranis from greece

designer's own words:

The product is a classic door knob FORM materialized though in a different scale of a material such as extremely fine concrete.The rossete for the handle dissapears inside the handle itself. Simplicity, and brutalism are two keywords that give form.
TECHNICAL DATA
Materials: extremely fine concrete, stainless steel rods 20mm in diameter, copper, coarse wood, treated glass, ceramic clay.
Texture: glossy or matte and different surface treatment
Finishes: edges with a radius of 0.5 to 1 mm, soft finishes that do not injure
Technology: the product could have been produced into the 19th century with mechanical engineering and handcrafted tools from a very good master of crafts with high cost
Production method: today probably the best way of producing the door handle it would be through the following stages:

Casting and molding of the basic quorum
Detailed machining on CNC milling
Polishing-finishing sander by robots
Final finishing procedures plating in succeeded bathrooms
The molding paste and the mass of cement presupposes designing special tools for mixing, casting and solidification products only
Treatment only in CNC milling machines and handmade mat polishing with only protection some very fine matte varnish

RESPECT WITH THE STANDARD ACCESSORIES MARKET
The products can be adapted to any common lock out in the market with the prefabrication of some special components:

Special square rotating pivot axis with the standard cross-section who will be able to host allen bolts and the possibility of related reduction and increase in response to the different door thicknesses. The apparent axis in the working parties will have the same surface treatment as the apparent remaining parts.

A special very thin rotation washer in connection with the door knob. If we are to function as spring-loaded handles on the market, it should be designed to fit into a recess within the thickness of the handle and be a part that is not available on the market according to our knowledge, ready at very small dimensions required by our design.
