Sleek elegance meets slim-line shapeliness: FSB 1285 by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez is a classic example of timeless design that makes compelling play of simplicity and judiciously conceived detail and has versatile applications.

The new sliding door handles catch the eye – and thrill the hand that operates them. A large selection of round and angular designs go hand in hand with a wealth of customised colour configurations and an innovative operating concept.

»It was our aim to lend the building an international, sporadic, spontaneous air. It mustn’t come across as being set in its ways. We’ve injected a shot of Berlin chaos. Scandinavia is severe and elegant, but thriving cities like Stockholm or Copenhagen do often yearn to be a bit like Berlin.«

The angling on the FSB 1155 lever handle also allows it to be operated safely and conveniently by elbow. The model is the upshot of insights arrived at by FSB in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute during scientific analyses of how a lever handle is operated.

This lever handle is a true multi-tasker. Door locking systems usually require an additional rose for the lock-bolt or thumb-turn. Our lever handle with privacy function does all that itself. Pressing a button once disables it – pressing the button again just as easily releases it.
