"'Less is more' became the mid-century modern mantra, and people demanded simple and minimalistic designs. The clamor of visual noise from intricate design began getting replaced by a more measured approach," said architect Mahmudul Gani Kanak from Chinta Sthapatya.

According to Mahmudul Gani Kanak, a Dhaka-based architect from Chinta Sthapatya, knobs and handles are now integrated into the broader architectural context, especially in interior design. "We can no longer say that knobs and handles are mere appendages to our home and furniture doors. Rather, they contribute to the overall rhythm and harmony of the space," Kanak said. The feeling of holding the door handle or knob can determine whether you feel welcome in a place or not.

What fascinates him the most about the knobs and handles is that they react and have dialogues with light, shadow, and surrounding elements. "This is how handles and knobs create a visual symphony that engages us in many ways with the overall theme of the space," he added.
