FSB 1102 model is rooted in a redesign venture by Alessandro Mendini, who refashioned the

celebrated Gropius lever handle by using a different material and adding a groove as one of his

submissions to FSB’s Design Workshop held in 1986.

It was the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886–1945) who hit upon the idea of splitting a round

tube in two and mitring the ends back together again at right angles. His creation is now known as

the “Frankfurt model”. The handle was rediscovered when the Architecture Museum was built in

Frankfurt and it proceeded to take the market by storm.
