keyhole by daniele usuelli from italy

a keyhole is the shaped channel into which the key slides to open a locked door.
when i was thinking about a handle and its meaning, i immediately started thinking at the iconic shape of a keyhole, because they are two things that are strictly correlated, as a matter of fact both of them let you open a locked door. so i took the classic iconic shape of a keyhole and i've turned it into a handle. i also want to do a step forward, adding a functional piece of soft black rubber all around the silhouette of the handle, in order to protect the wall and the handle itself when the door is accidentally opened with too much strenght.
the basic shape of this handle wants to keep the manufacturing process the simplest possible.
the core part of the handle is a unique cnc-cutted piece of brass with a satin chrome finish.
as you can see from the drawings, there are 13 little holes (of 3 mm in diameter), all around the edge of the core part of the handle, that correspond to 13 tips of the rubber protection part.
these little rubber tips will be wedged into the correspondent holes in order to anchor the rubber protection part to the core part of the handle. the rubber protection part could also be produced in different colours in order to meet the different needs of the client/designer.
the main part of the handle is fixed to the through squared pivot of 8x8 mm with a grub screw that is placed in the lower part of the handle, in order to be hided from the user.
