The architect Jürgen Engel has come up with a collection of door and window handles that are single-mindedly geared towards the needs of modern civic/commercial construction and are conducive to a maximum in visual continuity.

We are now augmenting the FSB 1267 range of heavy-duty hardware launched last year to coincide with the Bauhaus centenary – our tribute to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – with a variant in Stainless Steel.

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, adaptability and judiciously conceived detail.

Smartphones have already become the primary point around which we organize our daily lives.The L700 system marries the benefits of electronic access control to a unique-tothe- market light-based technology. L700 sets enable doors to be opened “at the speed of light”.

What a difference less can make! With its radically pared-down rose, the FSB plug-in handle is ideal for any window profile – whether timber, metal or PVC. There is nothing reductionist about the range of variants available, though: awaiting assembly are ca. 30 different handle designs in Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Brass and Bronze.

FSB provides the wherewithal for fitting handles of consistent design and material to doors and windows from the cellar right up to the loft. FSB’s new plug-in handles for internal doors follow on from those for windows and embody the same principle.
