Product collection FSB 1292
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.

„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.“
