This door handle represented a big step for me, partly because it was to be mass produced and partly because I found a new way of working. In both respects I owe a lot to Jürgen Braun of FSB for offering me this first industrial project. Following the ‘ready-mades’ and the adaptation of basic, recognisable object types to make new objects, I had come to believe that it was not the designer’s job to invent form, just to apply it in the right places at the right time and for good enough reasons.
