Door handle set

TRI 134

Art. No. 134001071

In the search for the perfect haptic experience, GRIFFWERK tested a wide variety of profiles in several studies. Finally, several criteria could be defined that are relevant for a "perfect" gripping experience:

The "perfect" profile corresponds to the hollow space,of the closing hand. This is three-sided for anatomical reasons and not round or rectangular
During operation, the angle of the closed hand is changed, as well as the position of the user in space. The closed hand is therefore "moved" on the door handle. It does not remain static. The edges must therefore be softly rounded to allow for movement play.
Most pressure is exerted on the upper contact surface. This is also the largest contact surface between the door handle and the hand. It therefore plays the most important role for the grip feeling. It is particularly pleasant if it is kept very wide, as is the case with TRI.
The upper contact surface should also be inclined towards the door. An angle that slopes gently towards the door corresponds to the natural posture of the wrist when operating a door handle. Thanks to the inclined angle, the wrist is not hyperextended when pressing the handle (as would be the case with a horizontal surface).

Door handle TRI 134 was developed based on these criteria.

Door handle TRI 134 is one of the simple, minimalist design forms that fit any door and any architectural style. In addition to a shapely, restrained design, it offers exceptional gripping comfort.

We have developed a profile cross-section with a "perfect feel". Anatomical requirements and movement patterns were taken into account. The gripping area now has three sides and thus corresponds exactly to the actual cavity of the gripping hand. This is not round but has a three-sided shape due to the joints of the hand.

The Greek pronoun "TRI" ("three" or "threefold") therefore became the eponym of the first handle introduced with the new profile.

Its shape literally nestles against the hand.
