Wolfgang Reul, how does a door handle become a design icon?
Podcast by Christoph Luchs with Wolfgang Reul
The fifth episode of the podcast Designerklärer is a brand special.
It’s all about the brand FSB – Franz Schneider Brakel GmbH + Co. KG. FSB is one of the top 30 design-oriented brands in Germany.
Brand ambassador Wolfgang Reul joins "Designerklärer" host Christoph Luchs to talk about product design, tradition, design processes, the Ulm handles, Otl Aicher, and the future of the FSB brand.
Among other things, the conversation explores how FSB found its way to design, how the elite of international architecture came to Brakel in the rural region of East Westphalia, why Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung once claimed that FSB "produces door handles more or less incidentally," and what the future holds. How did Otl Aicher influence FSB’s design process? Is it still relevant to produce books as a marketing tool? And what are the challenges of launching sustainable door handle collections in the future?
