The door handle’s stylistic idiom is inspired by architecture with simple, pure and geometric shapes. This handle was designed to feature two contrasting materials, one of which is marble. The handle´s origins lie in a workshop organised by the longstanding German porcelain company Kober. Technology was reduced to a bare minimum. Drawn brass was first combined with extruded porcelain, and then marble. The two are united in a way that flatters each constituent part. The interaction of simple geometrical brass surfaces and cylindrical shapes blends functionality with timeless aesthetics.
