When we set our minds to creating a new handle collection together with Prof. Christoph Mäckler, an architect who works in Frankfurt, it wasn’t the design that dominated our initial deliberations but the choice of material. We even jointly ran a much acclaimed workshop on the subject at the Dortmund "U".

Christoph Mäckler loves natural materials. Brass was his first choice, though in a raw polished finish as opposed to the lacquered variant generally on offer.

We then found it quite hard convincing our interlocutor that his new design ought additionally to be made available in aluminium and stainless steel.

Once the question of materials had been resolved and after much leafing through old catalogues, Christoph Mäckler eventually settled for a basic style that had already been enthralling door users in the 19th century.

It’s such a wellknown style and one which Christoph Mäckler reworked over and over again. His design proposal is a compact handle family which he wanted to see complemented by backplates and roses with visible fixing.
