Details
Letter is an entrance door that boldly transforms a flat plane into a three-dimensional form. Its design originates from the concept of a single line drawn from a flat surface, pulling the surrounding planes forward. This innovative approach allows for effortless opening and closing without the need for a traditional handle; instead, a functional slot is formed from the elevated surfaces. The production process mirrors the simplicity of its form: a single aluminium plate is bent to create the final shape. The door can be crafted entirely from metal, with the option to incorporate a glass panel for added light.
The Jury‘s Statement
Entrance doors must be convincing both functionally and aesthetically, while enhancing the entrance area. Letter reinterprets the front door by transforming a flat surface into a sculptural, three-dimensional form characterized by a clear, flowing line. The innovative design integrates the handle as a functional slot in the raised surface, allowing intuitive opening and closing without classic elements. The reduced formal language and high-quality craftsmanship from a single aluminium plate create a durable and aesthetically convincing solution. Optional glass and subtle lighting accents expand the design possibilities and give the entrance area an iconic presence. Letter impressively combines functionality with a clear, modern design, setting new standards for front doors.
