"In the design of buildings we are often too focussed on visual effects, thereby forgetting that the quality of a building almost entirely depends on its ability to be tactile.
How does it feel when you touch it? For this reason, a door and its handle are so important for your appreciation of a house or a building.
Contemporary door handles," Erick van Egeraat continues, "are often too rigid in their design to be truly comfortable.
That's why I wanted to design a door handle that makes you want to open a door over and over again."
Despite its luxurious looks and ergonomic character, model "Erick" is easy to manufacture.
It uses standard fittings and the base model allows for cost-effective production.
Due to its symmetry, it can be used on doors opening to the left and to the right and according to EN 179 regulations for emergency door furniture.
Moreover, the handle combines with the entire P+E programme.
The use of material for the new door handle is modular.
While the basic stainless steel version offers good value for money, more exclusive demand can be met with glossy-white, bronze or leather outfits.
