Pair of D. Perrault Crystal and Brass Door Handles
The handle, designed in 2010 by French architect Dominique Perrault, exemplifies his innovative and minimalist approach to design. Renowned for projects such as the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Perrault combines formal simplicity with cutting-edge technology, using ultra-transparent polished glass in this piece and thereby pushing the boundaries of traditional materials. Inspired by industrial clamps, the handle features a clean, precise geometry that combines visual lightness with sturdiness.

- on newer doors (mortise locks);

Description
D. Perrault Crystal and Brass – the completely transparent door handle
The D. Perrault doorknob, created in 2010 by French architect Dominique Perrault, is a perfect illustration of his innovative and minimalist approach to design. Perrault, famous for his major architectural projects such as the Bibliothèque nationale de France, is recognized for his ability to combine formal simplicity with cutting-edge technology. With this door handle, he pushes the boundaries of traditional materials by making ultra-transparent polished glass the central feature—a bold choice that reveals the technical mastery and aesthetic finesse of his work.
Inspired by the industrial clamps used on construction sites, the handle is characterized by a precise and minimalist geometry, reflecting a quest for balance between visual lightness and sturdiness. This almost suspended form evokes a sensation of floating that contrasts elegantly with the dense, glossy materiality of the glass—a sign of great technical mastery. The structural bonding process used to assemble the components demonstrates the extreme precision and meticulous execution characteristic of Perrault’s work.
Beyond its purely functional aspect, this door handle embodies the designer’s desire to make every detail a vehicle for emotion and innovation. The handle thus adds a sculptural dimension to interior architecture, blending seamlessly into contemporary environments where light and transparency play a central role. By combining premium materials, clean lines, and advanced technologies, Dominique Perrault has created an iconic piece that transcends mere hardware to become a true work of functional art, reflecting his unique architectural vision.
