The Perfect Form – Quietly Confident

Designed by Markus Michalski and Michael Schmidt, FSB 1289 features soft, organic lines that break intentionally from classic right angles. No hard edges, no rigid contours—just subtle, sculpted curves that create a natural tension. The result is a handle that integrates effortlessly into any environment: visually understated, haptically precise, and perfectly ergonomic. Its quality becomes tangible with every use.

Consistent across All Applications – Crafted to Last

FSB 1289 isn’t just a handle—it’s a full product family that spans multiple applications. Its consistent design language runs through door handles, window levers, glass-door fittings, lift-slide handles, and narrow-stile levers. It harmonizes beautifully with FSB’s sliding door pulls (FSB 42 4260–42 4265) and bar handles (FSB 66 6550–66 6552), reflecting their geometry with a flat front and gently contoured grip.

Crafted from high-grade aluminum, FSB 1289 combines premium materials and meticulous workmanship with a commitment to sustainability. Its finishes are perfectly tuned to complement any interior. The polished, natural anodized version (0105) offers a subtle elegance, while the blasted black anodized finish (0810) makes a bold architectural statement. Other finishes are available upon request to meet bespoke design visions.
