From Foster + Partners

Foster + Part­ners is a global studio for ar­chi­tec­ture, ur­ban­ism and design, rooted in sus­tain­abil­ity. The focus is on people in their sur­round­ing en­vi­ron­ment. Reach­ing for the door handle is often the first contact with a build­ing.

Recognizable at every touch

To­gether with FSB, the de­sign­ers at Foster + Part­ners In­dus­trial Design ex­am­ined his­tor­i­cal and con­tem­po­rary every­day objects to un­der­stand how we use every­day objects to in­ter­act with the outside world.

They ul­ti­mately used the ob­served pat­terns of grip and tactile sen­sa­tions to develop the product col­lec­tion FSB 1292 – made in Germany of alu­minium, stain­less steel and bronze, and in a broad variety of first-rate fin­ishes. The com­pre­hen­sive product col­lec­tion FSB 1292 con­sists of three dif­fer­ent ver­sions of the handle and re­flects con­sis­tency while sat­is­fy­ing diverse func­tional and tech­ni­cal re­quire­ments.

Insights with Mike Holland, Senior Partner, Head of Industrial Design

Durable, sustainable, energy saving ... Pure

The quality of an object is re­vealed not only by its utility. An equally im­por­tant cri­te­rion is its life­cy­cle from be­gin­ning to end. The Alu­minium Pure vari­ants, which we are the first hard­ware man­u­fac­turer to offer, deserve special at­ten­tion.

The aes­thetic beauty of their unique mul­ti­fac­eted finish serves as a visible rep­re­sen­ta­tion of sus­tain­abil­ity. Com­pared to nat­ural-coloured alu­minium, 37% of energy is saved during alu­minium pro­cess­ing and re­cy­cling at the end of the life cycle is made easier.

At your fingertips

Form and ma­te­ri­al­ity reflect a coming to­gether of crafts­man­ship and in­dus­trial pro­duc­tion. The design follows the gentle, tactile geom­e­try of hand­formed shapes and lines.

Al­though ex­tremely dif­fi­cult to define math­e­mat­i­cally, to the eye and hand the shape is very simple. It is the line that traces the in­ter­face between sculp­ture and in­dus­trial man­u­fac­ture. The soft lines and rounded edges cast an elegant play of light. And the “soft shape” fits easily in the palm of the hand.

„I believe that we design better prod­ucts when we un­der­stand the ma­te­ri­als and processes used to create them. That's why close col­lab­o­ra­tion with every­one in­volved in the design and man­u­fac­tur­ing of a product is very im­por­tant to us.“
