Door Knobs2022 FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS

Knobs extracting visual cues from existing handles, aimed at increasing visual interest while staying within the parameters of machine production.

 





As an engineer-led company, Accurate has long prioritised function over aesthetics. From my arrival in the company, I played a key role in building a team of designers, and winning aesthetic criteria an equal place in product development.






Continuity was maintained by ensuring new products reflected the company’s visual identity by referencing existing designs.






Curves from earlier handles became central design elements of new knobs.





Going directly into digital modeling allowed me to design within the parameters of Accurate’s factory. The limitations of simple extrusions mirror the capabilities of CNC machining.
