"ALEXANDRA Door Lever handle on rose
Finish : Bright Chrome
Material : Brass
This door handle originates in studies aimed at integrating two curves – a flat curve on top, and an ample, softer one underneath. The objective is to reconcile aesthetics with ergonomics. The result is graceful and pleasant to use.
ALEXANDRA
Ferdinand A. Porsche 1989
I have always admired F.A. Porsche’s work – not just his cars, but also the many useful objects he designed. He expressed himself in a strong, highly original line that was sometimes almost provocative.
TYPOLOGY Round
His personality shines through in the Alexandra door handle, where he overturned the usual mechanism we use. Generally, the rose is fixed to the door, but here, it rotates as a solid whole with the entire handle.
