voi d

voi d by antonio gardoni from italy

designer's own words:

voi-d
a door’s handle with an inner personality, a very simple, timeless and elegant shape that reveals its lightness and its second surface trough a hole at the end that creates a void in the handle itself.
voi-d has a curvaceous shape that starts from the escutcheon and opens up like a trumpet at the end of the handle.
the handle ends with a diagonal cut in the direction of the user/viewer that reveals the hole and the void inside finished in a color or different material finishes.
when the inside is made in a solid color very matt it gives the illusion of a solid surface (ellipse shaped) showing the depth of the color and when the material changes (shiny chrome outside, matt satin inside) it looks like if the handle ends with a different finish.
the peculiarity of this handle is the fact that can present endless possibility of finishes and colors combinations and that it reveals or hides the void cavity depending from the point of vision.
