Perspex door by Tony Fretton and Tre-P & Tre-Più
When approached to design a door with Tre-P & Tre-Più, architect Tony Fretton looked back at the history of door-making for inspiration. Doors were made by hand using a long-established panelled pattern before 20th century mass production began turning out flat doors comprising thin panels over a core of wood or fibre. 'Both ways are practical, both anonymous, both embody the values of the society for which they were made. I do not want to intervene in this rich and opaque process. Instead, I want to have made, something that looks at being a door,' says Fretton. His discreet, simple but carefully designed transparent Perspex door features a visible metal lock and hinges, fitted with leather straps.
