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.
