Scissor-shaped door handle
Yesterday I came across this pair of scissors doubling as a door handle at a barbershop in Abcoude.
This simple and elegant solution presents a win-win-win situation for everyone involved:
1. Potential customers will be able to tell what kind of business this is.
2. Customers can use the handle to open the door.
3. The owner can now also serve passing giants.
I forgot to note the name of the barbershop, but it is the one on the corner of the Stationstraat and the Burgemeester des Tombeweg.
A giant in NL would be a tragically humorous sight indeed.
And since these scissors are now in use as a door handle, the barber most probably will *not* be able to serve giants… #business #fail I’d say :-P
