Tom Dixon’s challenge: Innovating door handle design
Tom Dixon characterizes door handles as presenting “a uniquely challenging and highly functional set of issues, as they have evolved rather than being purposefully designed.” He notes that designer handles often prioritize aesthetics over practicality compared to conventional ones, as there’s limited scope to alter the appearance based on historical designs. Consequently, the challenge for him and his studio has been to develop a handle that not only performs effectively but also stands out from existing options.
