To design a handle for specific mechanism developed for cold storage doors. Design for safety, efficient use, comfort and aesthetics, aligning with manufacturing possibilities of the client company.
Pull the handle to close the door, once entered. Push the lever to open the door. The lever if pulled repeatedly, can cause damage or breakage to the mechanism.
This design unifies two separate entities resolving the problem technically &
aesthetically.
Designed focused on avoiding lever pulling error.
Ergonomics
Form for ideal grip and interaction oriented design.
Comprehended
with an intuitive design to push.
To pull,
the hand conveniently grips only the handle designed for it.
Semantics
Product should communicate it's use effectively.
Young adults, mid to old aged; carrying goods.
Pre occupied mind. Opening/ closing doors should be minimum effort.
Drastic temperature changes at entry- low temperature.
Heavy goods trolley
Gloved hands / uncovered cold hands giving poor grip control.
Locking of the door by mistake can cause serious accident and chaos.
