FROM PAPER TO PRODUCT
A short story illustrating the creation of luxury door handles designed and built for Judith Liegeois Designs by Kenneth D Rowe
Judith Liegeois Designs, commissioned to remodel a luxury condo high rise residence at The Provence in Naples, FL, needed high end front door handle set; a conversation piece to go along with the impressive decor being installed. The catch was that the condo association would not allow the changing of the exterior door handles. Thus the challenge left to me was to design and build a solid bronze handle set that married to the existing exterior handles, complete with working handles and dead bolt.
