The Ianus Doorknob is conceived as both instrument and presence — a functional object that marks the passage between spaces while quietly asserting itself as a sculptural form. Cast in brass and fully polished, it reflects its surroundings with clarity, dissolving into the architecture it inhabits while simultaneously standing apart from it. Its surface shifts constantly, shaped by light, movement, and proximity.
An abstraction of the Roman deity Ianus, god of doors, transitions, and thresholds, the form reflects the duality inherent in its function — inside and outside, opening and closing, beginning and end. Mounted on interior doors, it becomes more than a point of contact. It is a subtle interruption in the surface of the wall, a moment of reflection embedded in daily movement — part utility, part stillness. A gesture repeated without attention, yet never without meaning.
The piece can be made in different metals and finishes on demand.
