In collaboration with UNION, a manufacturer of door handles and levers, architect Hideyuki Nakayama designed this glass globe doorknob. Nakayama’s Room in a Glass Globe lets you “catch a glimpse of what appears to be another world, waiting for you to enter and join, but in fact is a reflection of the room on the other side of the door.” I love the whole idea of peering into another dream-like world, but in reality this poetic doorknob is unfortunately introduces a major violation of privacy.
