FSB 1102
This design 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.
