Watur Door

Filed under: Gadgets

A door is "barrier that will close the entrance to a room." The Watur Door is a door that pushes the limits of that definition, not to mention the actual functionality of a door. It is a continuously flowing vertical waterfall that fits in a doorway and will automatically shut off when the "handle" is touched, permitting someone to pass through without getting wet. Clearly intended as a decorative piece, since the water stream is quite transparent, it might be best used to outfit a gazebo in the garden, or used as an entrance to a steam room or sauna, rather than as the entrance to your home. Price: $2,000.

Martin Pierce Hardware

Filed under: Decor

$4,000 for door pulls? Martin Pierce's door handles are more art than hardware. His unique designs take their inspiration from the plant and animal world. He makes the original design in jeweler's wax and a lost wax process is used to cast the bronze. The process has to be repeated for each piece. Pierce also makes stunningly beautiful wood furniture that uses similar motifs. The handles make their debut at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago.
