RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main research challenge was to change the whole perception to doors. We had to find the important aspects of door systems and simplify it. Disassemble it to fundamental features, get rid of those you do not need and put it back in the new product. The research showed that the nature movement is not to use handle but just push and pull. Thanks to this we could create muteo.
CHALLENGE: The main creative chllange was to develop the lock system, which would allow to use door without handle.
