HANDLES.

These are some pictures from a Handle project conducted alongside IZE handles. I designed a range of handles for the Kitchen- an area that the company had yet to move into. I decided i wanted to design handles that were extremely functionally orientated and that were tactile and honest. The cupboard Handles are small and sit upright on the cupboard door making them easy to wipe down . They are based on the relationship a user has with the door as we generally only use a few fingers to open them. The door handle follows the same priciple and is a reduction in size in terms of more common handles. It gives a more natural feel and tactile nature to the handles giving the user a comfortable experience.
I think it is interesting that we do notice the feel, weight, and strength of a handle and its mechanism- and this contibutes to our experience.
The final product would be Cast in Blackened brass to give a Matt look, and an honest and manufactured/ Crafted look to the products.
IZE has expressed some interest in taking them on I believe although I havent heard anything directly yet so fingers crossed.
