Plus + by rafael morgan from brazil
designer's own words:
There is much more beauty hidden on the simple act of opening doors, than the action itself. When you open a door, you are opening a new world of possibilities,you reveal secrets, you build relationships,you find shelter, you move into the future. The Plus door handle brings out the poetry that once was hidden behind such a simple, everyday action. It takes door handles to a next level; from mostly strictly function mechanical pieces, to emotional, conversation pieces, keeping all their indispensable functional elements. The handle is composed of two basic parts; One static bar, which is fixed behind another identical, but movable, rotational bar. When you open the door, the "minus" symbol transforms into a "plus" symbol and stays on that position as long as the door is open. That simple. It´s always great to keep doors open in our life; That´s what the Plus door handle is all about.
