guns roses by adrian muller from lebanon

the main novelty of the handle is the elimination of the rose's presence. in order to achieve this, the rose is first reduced to the minimum possible size. the thickness of the rose-base, dimensions of the screws, and hardware restrictions of the mechanism within the door are all accounted for to minimize the rose's footprint.
second, the rose is sunk into the wood so that it sits flush with the plane of the door rather than protruding off the wood. finally, in order to conceal the presence of the rose, the handle is designed with its base mirroring the dimensions of the rose behind it. thus, the handle appears to be seamlessly and immovably attached to the door. once the handle is turned the assembly mechanism is revealed, as the rose is acutely visible resting behind the handle's base. since the handle is sitting flush with the door, the base is designed with a infinitesimal protrusion where the handle connects with the rose/spindle. this slightly distances the handle from the rose, thus keeping it from rubbing against the door and eliminating any possible damage to the wood.

the finishing of the parts alternates between polished black steel & matte-black gunmetal finishing. the consistency and attention to material detail and esthetics is carried through to the screws needed for assembly. ideally, the materials used in the handle would be employed along the inner edge of the door to further fuse the handle in its context, offering an even more appealing experience when using the handle and the spaces its door impacts. after-all, "god is in the details"...

the materials, rose-less assembly, bold proportions, sharp lines, and sleek corners, come together to redefine 'cutting'-edge design.
