Crescent Handle by rafael gonzalez urdaneta from mexico
designer's own words:
I was thinking about what a door handle is, and how if simplified to its basic function it can be considered an interface between the user and the door, an integrated tool that stays in place to help the user activate the mechanism that unlocks the door and lets him go through and would be virtualy unaccessible to the naked hand if this element was not present. So after this analysis I compared to other existing tools that would provide a similar way of grabbing and turning the pin that unlocks the door, and I found that a wrench could be used to do just that. this handle would be cast metal with a spun metal base, as any of the other handles in colombo design catalogue. I included different finish options that I think could work.
