Wooden doorhandles by 157+173 designers

Inspired by the designs on ancient Greek amphoras and murals, 157+173 designers created a set of wooden doorhandles with patterns and figures that have kindly been re-designed to feel they belong to today, and at the same time remind us of Greece’s great history. Silkscreened onto a lathed half-sphere beech wood piece of 3 different sizes, and then attached onto its hard cardboard packaging, the doorhandles extract a natural feeling, to refer to their source of inspiration. The pieces of the collection were originally designed for the Benaki museum, and later became part of 157+173 designers’ production.
