Engineer meets with designer:
Bill: A lever is easier to operate, especially for older people with arthritis or kids who might struggle with a round knob.
Steve: I get that, but a round door handle just looks better. It fits the design of this door and the house. A lever handle might be practical, but it would throw off the whole aesthetic.
Bill: Design is important, but so is functionality. Imagine someone coming home with groceries. A lever handle lets them push it down with an elbow or even a hip. A round knob? They’d have to set everything down just to open the door. Wasn’t always so.
Steve: Hmm. Car doors have changed a lot, too. Remember the Ford Model A door handles? A Tesla door handle is recessed.
Bill: Yeah, Ever watched someone try to figure out how to open a Tesla door for the first time? Or in an emergency?
Voice-over
Form follows function, ensuring usability without compromising design.
