Imagine the pressure. . .

"The creation of a door handle is more than the door handle
itself; it’s the connection provided between its form and its
function; its personality and its aesthetic appeal; its design and
the environment. Quality & design are cultural; inspired by
generations past.
The importance of the handle cannot be underestimated. It is
an indispensable object; it can hinder ones advance or facilitate
movement in spaces of everyday life. Without it, we would have
to redefine our entire way of life."
