door handle "minus"
explanation of ideas


this stainless steel door handle is the product of a „subtraction”.
both handles were created by taking away the unnecessary sections from the rectangle shaped raw material. since the same method of a single subtraction is applied to both sides, the result is two identical profiles on either side of the door which emphasizes that each handle is an integral part of the same single unit.

it is not a vague concept, not a radical high tech solution, it is refraining from overworked concepts.
it is a traditional solution; it is based on a very simple idea, suiting contemporary forms for everyday use; both for residential and public use.
this handle use commonly marketed mechanical parts, conforming to the standards, and it is robust enough, to be usable in public use also.
