Detailed Description

A lifestyle is the way a person (or group) lives. This includes patterns of social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual’s attitudes, values, or worldview. Having a specific “lifestyle” can be described as patterns of behaviour based on alternatives given and how easy it is to make this choice over others given. A lifestyle product embodies the values and aspirations of a group or culture. A lifestyle product speaks to the core identity of its customer. Individuals each have their own sense of self, based on their background. Door locks and their handles are a life-style product that is the main line of defence that most people use to protect their valuables. The main reason we use locks everywhere is that they provide us with a sense of security. If we consider the door as the main protector, which is the partition of two different spaces, then a lock will be its weapon or accessory to support the door. The door is the main interface, which will speak about the room inside and what kind of lifestyle it has, and the lock handle is no exception. It has to go with the door form and aesthetics. Lock handle is the interactive zone, where people push or pull the door. The main interaction is with our palm, which senses the material, its form, feels the comfort, etc. There are many designers who have tried to give their best to provide the above-listed elements and have become successful. My project is one more attempt to enhance those parameters.
