TWIST

Ben Van Berkel/UNStudio2014

M242B

The Twist door handle arises from the application of the principle of architectural torsion, a recurring element in UNStudio projects, adapted and reproportioned to the scale of the hand. The handle's twisting movement connects form, body and gesture, offering a direct and natural tactile perception. The geometry, complex but controlled, evolves seamlessly: the neck fluidly transforms into the flat plane of the grip. The result is a design handle with an ergonomic and dynamic silhouette, balanced between modernity and classicism.
