ONEN

ONEN is a small architecture and design studio, emerging from the firm 3XN that its owner helped to establish in 1986. In 2003 the partners of 3XN split amicably. One of the partners took over and established ONEN, which continue to build on the designs and design concepts that had been developed during the 3XN period.

ONEN works primarily with building-related designs, and their goal is to develop products that provide simple solutions to complex problems. Their starting-point is that products should support and accentuate the architecture, whether they appear as a minimalist or more expressive component.

The ONEN-handle was introduced in 2003, and has been used in Deloitte’s administrative offices in Denmark, as well as in several housing developments and 3XN’s buildings. The goal was to create a flat handle as an alternative to the many rounded handles already available. The challenge was to combine round and flat forms in a form of expression that would seem both simple and elegant.

The lever handle, as well as the thumb-turn and toilet indicator, are a part of the ONEN-handle series.
