the comet by robert woolf from usa
designer's own words:
I call this door handle design the ‘Comet’ as that’s what it resembles when viewed in elevation. The design is meant to be whimsical but practical and can blend into a traditional, transitional and contemporary décor environment. The curved, conical shape of the handle is molded in Santoprene. The dry silky feel of grips, knobs and handles made with Santoprene adds customer appeal and cost-effective market value to consumer and industrial products. The abrasive resistant material can be injection molded with great ease. Along with the fact that the material is so easy and cost efficient to produce, Santoprene® also can be recycled. After products made with Santoprene® have seen better days, the same material can be reprocessed and molded into new products. The impact of this easily recycled substance on our environment is thus not only positive, but may also help eliminate even more unwanted items ending up in landfills. This material selection was made also to accomoidate the aging population who typically suffer from a condition known as ‘dry hand’. Santoprene is comfortable for the old and young alike.
