The Fold range of door handles differs fundamentally from traditional models by combining the classic components of a door fitting – rosette, neck and handle – into one single element in an innovative way. This is achieved thanks to an astute system whose mounting is akin to a bayonet system. The result: the door handle gives the impression of floating on the door.
Statement by the jury
»It is not only the technical concept of this door handle that is innovative, but also the implementation of the design down to the last ingenious detail.«
