You probably don’t spend much time thinking about door knobs, or how they could be improved. Maybe you should! This glass globe lets you catch a glimpse of what’s going on in the room you’re about to enter.
Hideyuki Nakayama’s “A Room in the Glass Globe,” developed in conjunction with door handle manufacturer LEVER, shows you a reflection of what’s going on in the room behind it, cast in a sort of strange, dreamlike haze. It’s currently on display at the Plain People store in Aoyama, Tokyo. I think I’d sacrifice a little bit of privacy to have such a beautiful and simple idea in my home. [Spoon Tamago via MocoLoco]
