Felony-Inspired Door Handles

Modern Fingerprint Embossed Lever by Philip Watts

Usually the only time you see obvious fingerprints on a door handle is when the police have dusted after a crime. However this ultra-modern stainless-steel lever by Philip Watts makes digit impressions part of a hip design.

The handle is comprised of two simple but sleek intersecting brushed steel rods, the larger one deeply embossed with four fingerprint indentations.

Philip Watts' fingerprint door lever would be a fun felony-inspired addition to a contemporary home or perhaps an ironic touch to a bank entrance.
