For over a decade now, FSB has been looking into a succession of European neighbours’ visions of the definitive door handle

At the beginning of the new millennium we knocked at Holland’s door.

Ton Haas, an experienced and committed industrial designer, heeded our pleas and plunged head-first into the adventure that is the door handle.

He describes his attempts to close in on the subject better than any outside party
could: 'Some things look more straight forward than they actually are, a fact that led me to underestimate the door handle.

What, for God’s sake, is a Dutch door handle after all? We live here in a multicultural society. Wherever we look, we see water. We can build dikes and are experienced traders. Being Calvinists, we have a clear will and we proceed selfconfidently. But door handles? I think a Dutch door handle ought to be substantial and to give the hand something to get hold of. Clear ideas need strong handles.'
