pbel by Ricardo Vilas Boas from uk
designer's own words:
this project is inspired by the sense of holding a perfectly polished pebble in your hand. there is a romantic and tranquil feeling in that moment, while you caress the corners and feel the smoothness that years of sand and wind have given to the rock. this door handle mimics that shape, trying to give the user that same feeling every time he hold the handle, looking for the perfect grip on the palm of your hand or caressing the shape with the fingers while pulling down. there is no right way to use the handle it offers multiple possibilities, aided by the heaviness of the brushed stainless steel it provides a natural affordance and easy to turn door handle.
