FSB 1023
The Ulm Handle Reinterpreted

Originally developed at the HfG Ulm by Max Bill and Ernst Moeckl, FSB 1023 refines their “Ulm handle” into an elegant, expressive form. With bold curves and a tapered grip, it serves as a stylish alternative to the U-shape. Famously featured in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, it’s a global favorite in both new and historic projects.
