Description

The Skomer handle is a hardware design unlike any other, using depth and visual contrast to create a striking optical effect. A series of flat, contiguous discs are intersected by a central hourglass form, revealing an unexpected inner layer that adds intrigue and refinement. The result is a piece that rewards closer inspection, where subtle detailing elevates the overall design. Developed with precision, the handle reflects a careful balance between geometry and fluidity. The curved interior barrel, set within the structured discs, introduces a distinctive aesthetic rarely seen in architectural hardware, giving the piece a futuristic yet tactile quality.

 

Designer Zoran Matijevic describes the concept as a long-held ambition, inspired by architectural forms encountered over time. Extensive development ensured the design could be executed with clarity and sharpness, achieving a crisp, detail-focused finish. The Skomer handle demonstrates how thoughtful design can transform a functional object into a refined and visually engaging feature
