Spira by Andrea Frattini from italy
designer's own words:
The door handle "Spira" is a that one spiral-shaped because there are benefits in aesthetics and function. In aesthetics because spiral-shaped form is tasteful and oneric: to alternate symmetric and rhytmical of empty and full spaces; however the intrenal space is empty because saving materials. For the function the empty spaces have the effect of a better prehension. The spiral-shaped form with a specific material(brass,steel,aluminium,and so) and with a specific thickness produce a typical resilience for the prehension or in case of unintentional impact (elastic dissipation of energy).The materials with smooth finish or opaque boby are noble metals which give polish, exclusiveness, austerity and praticality in maintenance. The production technology is easy,tested and applicable on a vast scale with low costs of materials and energy.
