orbis by nadia hoekstra from australia
designer's own words:
the orbis was initially inspired as an elegant extension of a simple door knob. pleasing to the eye due to its soft organic shapes, the orbis encapsulates today's modern style through its simple yet minimalistic aesthetic, combining contemporary design with modern ergonomics. the subtle use of mixed material, a tactile rubber ring set harmoniously into warm and hygenic corian, enables orbis to fit the hand remarkably snuggly and comfortably. this allows for a tactile handle with a satisfying weight to be made and any combination of colours to be applied. the solid feeling the user will experience when using the handle is a token of quality and longevity whilst the silky smoothness of corian with a hint of rubber for texture, will add a sensory delight.
