The Zzzigurat doorknob, designed by the innovative architecture practice Sans-Arc Studio for the Australian brand Bankston Architectural, redefines conventional door hardware with its unique and sculptural form. Inspired by the ancient Ziggurat towers of Mesopotamia, this doorknob combines historical design elements with modern aesthetics, making it a striking addition to any interior.
A Nod to Ancient Architecture
The Zzzigurat doorknob stands out with its distinctive stepped form, a departure from the traditional smooth, spherical design typically seen in door hardware. This unique shape is directly influenced by the Ziggurat towers, ancient structures known for their terraced, pyramid-like shapes. By incorporating this historical reference into a modern context, the Zzzigurat doorknob serves not only as a functional item but also as a conversation piece that adds character to any door it adorns.
A Sculptural Approach to Door Hardware
Bankston Architectural describes the Zzzigurat doorknob as “more than a doorknob”—it’s an “innovative and engaging sculpture.” The design team at Sans-Arc Studio took inspiration from the avant-garde Italian Radical Design Movement, known for its bold, unconventional, and playful approach to design. This influence is evident in the doorknob’s rebellious and sculptural style, which challenges the norms of traditional hardware design.
Versatile Design for Diverse Interiors
Despite its modern and unconventional form, the Zzzigurat doorknob is versatile enough to complement a wide range of interior styles. Whether used in a minimalist, contemporary space or paired with more eclectic, traditional decor, this doorknob brings a touch of artistry and sophistication to any room. The design’s adaptability ensures it can seamlessly integrate into various design schemes, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space.
Craftsmanship and Material Excellence
Crafted from solid forged brass, the Zzzigurat doorknob exemplifies high-quality craftsmanship and durability. Available in six different finishes, ranging from polished metal to semi-gloss color, it offers options to suit various tastes and interior designs. The choice of materials and finishes not only enhances the doorknob’s visual appeal but also ensures its longevity, making it a worthwhile investment for any home or commercial project.
