Ferdinand Kramer created a purposeful, timeless design. In 1925 he designed this door handle with a conical handle, which we have been manufacturing since 1992, authorized by Ferdinand Kramer's widow. Expanded with new material, the model is also available in brushed or polished stainless steel.
Ferdinand Kramer was a significant German architect and designer of Functionalism. He worked primarily in Frankfurt am Main, where he contributed to the design of Neues Frankfurt in the 1920s as a collaborator of Ernst May. Condemned by the Nazis as "degenerate" and banned from working, Kramer emigrated in 1938, following his wife Beate to the United States. After the war, he returned to Frankfurt and served as the Director of Construction at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University from 1952 to 1964. During his tenure, he oversaw the creation of 23 new university buildings.
