Design

Jahn/Lykouria

Helmut Jahn and Yorgo Lykouria came to lever handle design without any preconceptions whatsoever: they freed their minds of the constraints of industrial production processes, which were characteristic of the tubular designs of Modernism in particular, and looked out for a form that, while it can be produced by machines, ergonomically corresponds to human gripping needs in a special way.

The upshot is a formally distinctive lever handle re-interpretation that is a genuine innovation of the moulded-to-the-hand concept.
