soft touch

soft touch by morten engel from denmark

designer's own words:

The Soft Touch door handle embodies the idea of an elegant and robust hardware which is both modest and interesting to look at.

The handle fits the hand by carving out a curve into the conical shape and thereby creating an area for the index or middle finger to gain grip.
The material used should age and patina beautifully as e.g. coper, steel, aluminum etc, but it could also be made from wood or even bone.
All in all the door handle should be robust, beautiful, functional and last for generations.
