Wilhelm Wagenfeld, born in Bremen,
is one of the most well-known
Bauhaus designers. He designed
the famous light WG24, as well
as various designs for Braun,
Rosenthal and WMF. In 1928,
Wagenfeld designed the door
handle WD 28 for S.A. Loevy and
a matching window handle, which
however was only produced
in a limited quantity. TECNOLINE
(which was with TECNOLUMEN
at the time) resumed production
of the model together with
Prof. Wagenfeld in 1982, following
the original hand sheet.
As an architect and designer,
Ferdinand Kramer, born in 1898,
was a representative of classic
functionality. True to the motto
“the function determines the form”,
Kramer predominantly designed
objects for interior design that
did justice to the prevailing narrow
rooms in the first half of the 20th
century. With low manufacturing
costs, Kramer created purposeful,
timeless design in the realm of
interior architecture. In 1925,
he designed this door handle with
conical handle, which we have
been producing since 1992, with
permission from Kramer's widow.
We understand a good shape to be the natural form
of a product that has developed from its functional and
technical requirements, that corresponds fully
with its purpose and is beautiful at the same time.
