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.
