scarab by marton toth from hungary

the design was primarily inspired by the form of breaking planes. the first part of the design process was the shaping of the breaking planes. the next part was designing a base for that simple shape, since it couldn't yet function as a handle by itself. the result is a simple handle with an angular, perspectivic form. the clear, angular shape of the aluminium part - the plate with the double break - has a cold, rigid, sharp touch. it is mounted on a gemlike, glossy body, which follows the lines of the aluminium part. the base is made of brass with a white or dark grey finish, and the handle from aluminium. the handle is also reminiscent of a bug's wing, hence the name.
