Dieter Rams

The FSB product range comprised 70 different designs. Not to mention all the other market offerings. Wasn’t that enough? Hadn’t the scope for novelty been exhausted? We wanted to know and asked Dieter Rams, probably the most noted German designer, to contemplate a new design for door handles. Rams accepted the challenge – and won.

The hardware series by Dieter Rams is formally engaging, technically innovative, suits doors and windows in all styles and finishes, and sports a simplicity that is surprisingly new, yet somehow familiar.

It consciously bucks the trend evident in so much else on the market.
