As had already been the case towards the end of the 19th century, Berlin is now once again one of the most engaging sites for new architecture anywhere in the world.

The elite of the architectural and design scene are breaking new moulds here – and that goes for door handle design too – and we are proud to be in on the process. Take, for example, the handle by the famous British architect Nicholas Grimshaw, which he designed for his Berlin Chamber of Trade and Commerce project in 1996.

Grimshaw’s handle range has been well-received by the market. Its design constituents are readily recognised and appreciated.

Some (generally Europeans) instantly recall Scandinavian cutlery design, others (predominantly North Americans) are more readily reminded of the butt of a Colt. Which only goes to show that Nicholas Grimshaw and his team headed by Matt Keeler have managed to highlight the heftiness of the design.

The designers made great demands of the FSB workforce’s craft expertise. The production process calls for the coupling of very differing materials. Aluminium mouldings and composite injection mouldings are held together by stainless
steel bolts.
