NINADaniel Libeskind 2012K234The Nina handle temporally follows the Denver project and, even if not with the same strength, also plays on slight misalignments, oblique lines and unexpected cuts.

NEWOKAYK262BOkay plays on geometric shapes recurring throughout the work of Michael Anastassiades. The point of the teardrop defines the level on which to place the palm while the curvature creates a softer manipulation, necessary during the functioning of the object: a fusion of form and function...

WAVENicholas Novelletto 1998K175In the case of Onda, the research was purely ergonomic: an exploration of the movements the hand makes, the pressure it exerts, the movements it performs, its physicality. The balance between classicism and modernity should not be surprising since the human hand has n..

OPENRem Koolhaas 2015K249BRem Koolhaas, invited to design an innovative handle, gave, with his OMA collaborators, a "conceptual" answer starting from the breakdown of the handle into its primary functional elements: the hub and the lever. For both, he chose to reduce the use of the material to the s..

PADDLEK264BThe original prototype was developed from the observation that door handles are more often pushed down with the palm of the hand than with a grip. Based on this insight, a form has evolved in which the upper contact area is increased. The result is an ergonomic, almost anatomical configur..

PLANET QBLuca Casini 2010K203BThe Planet Q handle was born at a time when the "squared" handle model had not yet appeared on the market as a protagonist. I was attracted by the idea of creating a linear and apparently angular handle but actually soft to the grip, with imperceptibly curved surfaces a..
