Architectural forms is a set of three handles, inspired by the contemporary architecture. The forms are derived from the I-beam – probably the most popular structural element today, and the idea of cutting holes in it to achieve lightness and transparency.
Three basic geometric forms are chosen – hexagon, circle, and triangle. The resulting design looks rigid and strong yet slim and elegant, just like the buildings it is intended for.
Besides shiny and matte finishes, an option for a painted finish is planned – to match the colour of the railing and other metal elements.
