1108 Lever Handle

1108

FSB designer Hartmut Weise had long been wondering where the secret of the two popular door handles, ‘the Wittgenstein handle’ and ‘the Frankfurt model,’ might lie. Then one day he hit upon the term ‘unpretentious presence’ to sum up the outcome of his deliberations.

Spurred on by this analysis, Hartmut Weise resolved to place an even more chaste variant on the decision-making table: Round tubing is mitered to an oval grip at right angles. The ‘Frankfurt heavyweight’ is instantly transformed into an elegant ‘Brakel featherweight’ without in any way having sacrificedthe unpretentios presence of the former.
