Origami by beernaert nico from belgium

a door handle calls to leave a room to occupy another. it means "passage". it is the articulation between two spaces, an element of a partition which when activated makes the inaccessible accessible. this element becomes a reality here in folding: from the japanese art of paper folding, the chrome stand folds to the natural grip of our hand whilst offering sufficient rigidity. this economy of material combines perfectly with the game of edges and shadow that follows. the kink in the handle is connected to the gate by a thin chrome circular rosette without artifice, as if the rest of "paper" unfolded.

from the metallurgical industry, the brightness and the feel of the handle direct our hand. daily, the sleek silhouette of this door handle will induce, by its reinterpretation, an intriguing manipulation that blends with the forms of the surrounding architecture.
