Labyrinth Security Door Chain

Designed by Art Lebedev Studio, this innovative labyrinth security door chain forces you to solve a maze before you can exit.

The chain is long enough to reach the far end of the maze.

Not exactly the place to be in case of fire.

The 2 images are not the same maze.

The mazes seem to be the same. If you rotate the first maze 180 degrees clockwise you'll get the second maze. It depends on which end-point of the maze you put as the start.

It's a design that's pleasing to look at but total non-functional. I would hate to be in a rush to leave to the house. Least of all a fire as tx972 mentioned. I'm sure I'd end up smashing my door one day.

Nicely done, but surely that would become maddening within a week?

@Navin: I realize now that they are not images of the same door. Was so focused on the maze that I missed that cogent point. :)

i like the point about the fire, this is what we like to call bad nonfunctional design, all aesthetics no regards for functionality, another words, art.

I love this! Definitely art, and my favorite kind--something which "interrupts the flow of ordinary attention" and makes you look/think twice. I'm going to show this to my creativity students.

This is a great way to 'accidently' lock up your blonde princess :)
