Dalí translated his ideas into liveable designs
such as the Rinoceróntico handle. Dalí
collaborated with Jean Michel Frank on the
Rinoceróntico. It has a polished and lacquered
cast brass body that can be fitted to both sides
of a door or used as a standalone piece. Its
three components are fitted together for an
ergonomic hold, and their forms resemble a
Rhinoceros and Dalí’s characteristic crutch. It
holds his symbolism, focus on artisanal craft,
and a touch of wit, separating the boundary
between aesthetics and function.
