This Door Knob Lets You See What's in the Room Behind It

You probably don't spend much time thinking about door knobs, or how they could be improved. Maybe you should! This glass globe lets you catch a glimpse of what's going on in the room you're about to enter.

This Door Knob Lets You See What's in the Room Behind ItHideyuki Nakayama's "A Room in the Glass Globe," developed in conjunction with door handle manufacturer LEVER, shows you a reflection of what's going on in the room behind it, cast in a sort of strange, dreamlike haze. It's currently on display at the Plain People store in Aoyama, Tokyo. I think I'd sacrifice a little bit of privacy to have such a beautiful and simple idea in my home.

1. Isn't privacy one of the main reasons for having a door? n/t

3. If it can be made one way, it would be a neat replacement for a peep hole.

4. Or you could just get a door with a window in it

This door lets you see whats behind it.

5. It's a security device for restrooms in airports.

6. as long as it is just one way, you could use it on an exterior door for security

so you can see more than you could by looking out a window (without a window).
