Pair of 1940s Brass Door Handles

Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, the 1940 door handle set stands out with its segmented geometry where function dictates form. Its cylindrical lever, symbolic of the industrial era, meets a rounded elbow, creating a striking visual contrast. This silhouette is supported by a round rosette that reinforces the sculptural and robust appearance of the piece. It is a centerpiece for interiors seeking architectural precision and timeless sophistication.

Description

1940 – the iconic door handle

A true homage to the aesthetics of the 1940s, the 1940 door handle pair embodies the very essence of the Bauhaus movement, in which each structural component is designed to manifest its utilitarian purpose. Its visual identity is based on strict geometric segmentation, marking a clear departure from the ornamental curves of classic hardware.

The object's architecture is organized around a powerful visual contrast between two geometric entities: the operating lever and its base. The handle takes the form of a flawless cylinder, a tubular shape emblematic of industrial modernity and a desire for absolute simplification. This sharp transition from roundness to linearity infuses a lively architectural momentum, transforming a functional accessory into an authentic piece of technical sculpture.

The handle is supplied with rosettes and locking options, including L-keys, Y-keys or condemnation. A 7mm thick door square is also included for easy, trouble-free installation.
