please ! by schwanhilde schömers from germany
designer's own words:
door handle "please !" pleases the user with a comfortable and inviting grip.
highlight is a concave cork pad defined for the thumb. it indicates the hand position and gives a haptic experience.
the shape of the cork pad relates to the rose to form a clear and holistic unit.
the body material is corian (or a similar compound) with a metal core.
the combination of cork and corian offers a soft and light object for the interior, with a functional and aesthetic detail as design idea. the contrast of the white body with the brown element builds a simple but characteristic design that integrates in private and public environments.
the name "please !" refers to the gesture to open the door for someone, but in this case the handle invites to the act itself.
