# Mod Geometric Doorknobs Studio Namic Door Handles Open Up to Abstract Industrial Interior Style By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-10-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-namic-door-handles References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Door-Handles/1647626) Ergonomics appear to be left out of the design of many doorknobs, so these Studio Namic Door Handles are certainly not a regression in terms of domestic hardware. In fact, their abstract sculptural forms provide more dynamic surfaces for a more effective grasp, as well as encouraging a more conscious interaction with such typically neglected objects. David Goncalves and Andreia Mesquita have put together this intriguing collection of three different contemporary handgrips. The cross-shaped one is called Cruz, the short multifaceted one is the Ang and the sleek and slender one is labeled the 50's. Made in brushed steel, each model exhibits a sharp industrial quality and would be suited to the most cutting-edge of interior decor. Their streamlined but geometrically elaborate sculpting would make them alluring accents within minimalist spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ergonomic Doorknobs:** Creating doorknobs with abstract sculptural forms that provide more dynamic surfaces for a more effective grasp. - **Conscious Interaction Design:** Encouraging a more conscious interaction with typically neglected objects like doorknobs through innovative and thoughtfully designed forms. - **Industrial-inspired Hardware:** Bringing sharp industrial quality to doorknob design, making them suitable for cutting-edge interior decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate sleek and sculptural doorknobs as alluring accents in minimalist spaces. - **Home Hardware Manufacturing:** Scope for manufacturing companies to create doorknobs with ergonomic designs and brushed steel materials. - **Architectural Hardware Retail:** Potential for retailers to offer unique and industrial-inspired doorknobs that cater to the demand for cutting-edge interior decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Door Hardware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-door-handle.md) - [Domed Door Knob Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h03-knob-on-half-moon.md) - [Colorful Vibrant Hardware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belt-handle.md) - [Colorful Resin Faucet Handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromablock.md) - [Sculptural Artful Hardware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petra.md) - [Bold Wooden Hardware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wide-guy-door-pull.md) - [Elegant Wooden Pull Handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ribbon-pull.md) - [Bold Sculptural Hardware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profile-collection.md) - [Striped Wooden Handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensible-streaker.md)
