Melted Knob to Handle by ana claudia schultz from usa
designer's own words:
the door knob was designed to look like it melted & thus elongating the knob to handle length. when the door is open the knob position looks like a melted door knob but when locked/when the door is closed, the knob is turned to the handle position. when in a handle position the knob no longer looks like it's melting but merely handle in water form.
this design is not just for, as shown, water/beach front home. it can be used in any home, including my brooklyn apartment. it would be a pleasure to have handles with characteristics of water/melted metal to break what architectural hardware one "should" install. to be contemporary or innovative is to "tweak" or in this case "melt" the rules.
