Design

Heike Falkenberg

In the autumn of 1996, Düsseldorf-based interior designer Heike Falkenberg asked FSB to recreate an old handle design for a renovation job she was involved in. Using the sketch she submitted, FSB’s development department cut a demonstration model out of the FSB 1076 handle, reducing the circular tube to a more minimal flat grip.

The prototype looked so good that, together with the designer, we spontaneously decided to market our gripping idea. The design was so rapturously received in the marketplace, we have extended this cross section to window and pull handles.
