About Chameleon 도어 핸들

카멜레온은 도어 표면과 실내 공간 모두의 디자인 요소로 작용하도록 설계된 도어 핸들이다. 이 핸들은 문에 장착되는 본체와 본체에 결합되는 세 개의 개별 부품으로 구성된다. 네 가지 부품은 각각 유광 및 무광 마감, 우드, 레더 등 서로 다른 소재와 색상, 질감, 패턴의 대안으로 제공된다. 사용자는 이 부품들을 조합하여 자신의 인테리어와 취향에 어울리는 다양한 핸들 변형을 만들어낼 수 있다. 전체 치수는 인체공학적 요구 사항을 따른다.

Unique Properties: Chameleon as a door handle is not operating as a separate part integrated into the door, but as a design element of both the door surface and the interior space. According to the design of the door surface, the design approach and the style of the interior, as well as the user’s own personal taste, this door handle is identity-based. In a word the door handle design is actually created not by the designer, but by the user.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total width 180mm * 55mm * Height from floor to center 110mm. It is planned to offer door handles in different alternatives of color, texture and material that are packaged individually.

Production Technology: The design consists of the main body mounted on the door and the handle formed by 3 separate parts connected to it. These 4 parts are planned to have alternatives with designs consisting of different materials, colors, textures and patterns. Therefore, various door handle combinations can be created by combining pieces in different options such as rose, black glossy and matte materials, wood and leather materials.
Design Challenge: This design represents the point where industrial design meets interior architecture.

Users will be able to sign designs in different styles such as stylish, elegant, innovative, traditional, cozy with the combinations they will create by combining different materials, colors, textures and patterns.
Inspiration: Although the door handles seem like a small detail in the space, it is a product that should be used at least 3 times in built environments. Door is an important design element and undoubtedly one of the most important parts of the interiors. The door handle should not operate as a separate part integrated into the door, but as a design element of both the door surface and the interior. Chameleon has emerged in order to turn a product into an element that adds value to interior design.
Project Duration: The idea of designing the project Chameleon created in February 2020 in Ankara, Turkey.
