Chameleon

Door Handle for Atılım University

Chameleon is a door handle that consists of a 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. Various door handle combinations can be created by the user with different design criteria. Thus, in a word, the door handle design is actually created not by the designer, but by the user.
