Marilyn is born from the organic and sinuous language of MAD Architects and its founder Ma Yansong. The soft and sinuous shape of the handle recalls the movement of the Absolute Towers in Toronto. A simple and elegant gesture generates an ergonomic twist that welcomes the hand, balancing solids, voids and shadows. A contemporary design handle that reinforces the dialogue between architecture and industrial design.
A simple and elegant gesture triggers the twist ready to ergonomically welcome the hand in the act of grasping the handle.
The design balances itself in the search for an equilibrium between solids, voids and different shades of shadow.
