OKEY by cecilia crestale from italy
designer's own words:
With this project we want to disrupt the function of revising traditional handles and placing them in a futuristic and maybe not even that far. Imagining scenarios where the homes of tomorrow will be smaller and smaller, where families will share aseptic mini studios, minimalist here that the ports will be almost nonexistent, and the importance of the handle can be re-evaluated and transformed.
Think for a moment to access invisible and fade into the walls and rooms that seem unreachable at first sight: in these long walls that surround the environment are perceived barely holes, holes that recall the patches of special locks. Our handle is that missing that allows us to make a real door that wall with all its normal characteristics: OKEY slips perfectly in that hole in the upright position, rotate it 90 degrees and pulling the latch moves towards us will open the door. Its function is as simple as the keys, and his appearance reminds us just to make it very clear. The funny thing is to have in our small bunch of keys on our doors and colored handles any type of accessories with a modern concept that recalls the old fairy tales where the key gave access to the Magic and the Unknown, but now is the Same key that was made Magic.
