Vicky Lever & D Handles for Izé
Izé comissioned a door handle from us, and initially we designed a D-Handle for use on commercial projects. The Vicky Handle was specified in our projects at Victoria in London - hence the name. It's a very simple idea, the transition from a circle to a square; so the handle is curved where your palm pulls it, and flat where your thumb pushes it. This idea works for both the D-Handle and the Lever handle. We're now in the process of creating a range of handles based on the principles that informed the design of the D-Handle, and a Lever handle is also available in a range of finishes. We won the Architectural Ironmonger's Best of Best Award 2017 for the Vicky Handles. They can be purchased here.
Simple and surprising, the handles address and bring together two archetypes of handle design, the tube and the bar.
