usura   door handle inspired by erosion

usura door handle inspired by erosion by lior hermoni from israel

designer's own words:

The handle is composed of three different layers. The outside layer is made of a basic aluminum profile, the inside layer is a piece of American walnut tree and In between there is a cast of pigmented crystal epoxy. The inspiration for the way the handle was polished came from the wish to imitate the way handles are worn away by constant use.
The final result is an attempt to draw attention to the old, the rusty and the breaking layers of old paint in such a way as to make even most prestigious and fashion conscious customers appreciate the magic effects of time.
