Marilyn Handle

The “Marilyn,” is a door handle designed in collaboration with Olivari for Milan Design Week. Inspired by our “Absolute Towers” in Mississauga nicknamed the “Marilyn Monroe Towers” for their soft, curving silhouette the handle echoes the same fluid movement in miniature.

The door handle represents the first point of physical connection between a person and a space. With this in mind, “Marilyn” was designed to feel intuitive and natural from the moment of touch. Its sinuous form gently twists, referencing the continuous rotation of the towers while providing a smooth, ergonomic experience.

The horizontal curve fits easily into the palm, while the vertical surface invites the thumb to rest comfortably, offering a quiet but meaningful interaction with form.
