1907
Bertille found her inspiration for this doorknob in the popular bowling game of pétanque, which involves a strong relationship between the player's hands and the texture of the metal balls (1907 is the year the game was invented). She sees a parallel in the feel of a doorknob in the hand and designed this model to give a tactile and visually intriguing experience. The shape is a generous, bold sphere with a distinctive texture, handcrafted with a hammer.
