Christoph Ingenhoven

"Why do we all like door handles so much?" Christoph Ingenhoven and his design team mused.

Why, "because they are the point of contact between our hands and our buildings." The closer any element of a building gets to us, the more carefully it must be designed.

Ingenhoven: "With the reemergence of big, heavy doors, we wanted to deliver a powerful handle with which to open and shut them. We are not in favour of one-off solutions and laid store by developing a range of fittings for multifaceted structures. Taking a neutral, unshowy model as our point of departure, we have extended the handle family for special areas of application by means of optical and haptic add-ons to the lateral surfaces."

The work of Christoph Ingenhoven and his design team has got "21st Century" written all over it. This is partly due to their having opted for AluGrey, a material newly marketed by FSB.

In our constant search for new materials, we came across AluGrey back in the 1980s.

We were thrilled by the hardness of its surface, its crystalline texture and its gracious neutrality.

FSB is pleased to have acquired Düsseldorf architect Christoph Ingenhoven as a design coach for the propagation of AluGrey.
