shl architects

For more than 20 years, schmidt hammer lassen architects design has been one of Scandinavia’s leading and most award winning architectural design houses. Their passion for holistic and unique architecture, with an emphasis on the interaction between the building, its occupants, its surroundings and the Scandinavian light, has given them international recognition.

The lever handle from schmidt hammer lassen was originally designed for ARoS - Aarhus Art Museum, which was inaugurated in 2004. The concept behind the lever handle was to create a unique, functional and simple design that in the given context would lend visual balance for experiencing art and later find broad use in both new and old buildings.

Despite its angular and immediate impression of sharpness, the handle gives the user a welcoming and friendly reception. The edges are rounded off, so the contrast with the angular appearance gives a surprisingly "soft" experience when used; an experience that is emphasised by the impeccable functionality.

The series consists of a lever handle, a thumb-turn, a toilet indicator and backplates.
