Integra

Integra by diego martins from brazil

designer's own words:

the integra project was designed to be simple to produce and easy to install, all is necessary to do in the fabrication process is to bent a 3mm metal plate, weld a rail in the back and drill a space where the lock will be aligned

its also necessary to produce a bar with two axis in its ends, similar to a regular door handle, this bar will be responsible to hold the plate and due to the axes its rotational motion will produce a linear motion in the plate

to install it the only changing is that a small rail must be screwed to the door

the design of the product itself was planned to integrate the lock with the door handle, instead of using two separeted pieces, the curve of the plate has the function to give a good grip to the user and to show what is the movement that must be taken, up to down

the product also changes the concept of left and right, because of the appearance of the product and the kind of movement
