AVUS
The legendary
This door handle bears its name in memory of the famous Berlin automobile race track, where numerous groundbreaking achievements were made. We introduced the first Avus shape back in 2011, which stood out for its wide polished surface. This shape was characterized by the two distinctive sweeping curves that were characteristic of the track. Adapting the door handle shape, we further refined the design. Now the handles consist of two elegant semicircles that frame the rectilinear front surface. Nowadays, the clear demarcation between walls, frames and doors is no longer necessary or desired. Materials and appearance are becoming increasingly uniform. The desire for order and visual simplicity characterizes modern living culture.

Cashmere grey
The so-called cashmere goats come from the former principality of Kashmir between India, Pakistan and China. Their wool is significantly softer than the finest sheep's wool and one of the most precious and expensive natural fibres of all. It inspired us for our velvety soft surface cashmere grey. Our cashmere grey not only offers luxury for the hands, but also has a silky matt appearance. The shade, which is very close to RAL 7022 (umbra grey), goes perfectly with warm tones and materials. Materials such as wood, patterns in textiles or other fluffy interior accents can be combined.
Look & Feel!
The surface finish developed by GRIFFWERK, soft2touch by GRIFFWERK, combines an extraordinary look with a velvety soft feel. Surfaces make a decisive contribution to a positive product experience. This is especially true for door handles, which are touched countless times every day - not only on inner doors.
Minimalism
According to the Duden dictionary, minimalism means "to deliberately limit to a minimum". The strength of minimalist interior design lies in the quiet focus on individual furnishing elements. Minimalism is not only a style of living. Rather, it describes an attitude to life that is reflected in the living space. Focus on the essential and do without the superfluous. That is the motto of a minimalist lifestyle. The goal is a simple elegance and purist structure. Choosing a minimalist door handle is the first step towards a minimalist living style.
Industrial Style
Untreated wood, exposed pipes, unrendered brick walls and concrete floors: The trendy interior style looks rough and does without frills. Everything looks used and unfinished. This is what makes the industrial style of living so special. The furnishing style is particularly popular in large and open loft flats. Typical of the interior design is a lush and massive leather couch, but door handles also contribute to the flair. Colours are used in industrial style to a limited extent, but in combination. This is to bring out an authentic industrial design.
Hygge
Hygge comes from Denmark and is more than just a style of living: it is a way of life. Cosiness, security and conviviality are particularly important in a hygge atmosphere. Such a room climate is created by warm colours such as beige, cream, white or pastel grey. Supported by natural materials such as wood, wool or stainless steel, hygge turns your living space into a feel-good atmosphere. Choosing the right door handle is the first step towards a Hygge living style. Door handles from Griffwerk with a warm look in the colours cashmere grey or stainless steel are particularly suitable.
DOOR HANDLE SETS
Door handle sets are door fittings that consist of door handles and the corresponding plates or rosettes and are used to open and close doors. Inside the door is a square lever handle pin, which is connected to a lever handle on both sides - via the so-called spindle part.
SQUARE ROSETTES
Square door rosettes are the rectangular or square plates that are fitted around the door handle and keyhole to cover the hole in the door leaf and provide a decorative as well as functional cover. In the square version, they offer a modern and angular design.
PROFILE CYLINDER
"Profile cylinder" refers to door locks that are fitted with a profile cylinder lock. This lock is operated with a special profile cylinder key, which is inserted into the cylinder and activates the locking mechanism. Profile cylinder locks offer a higher level of security and are often used on entrance doors, apartment doors and other doors that require increased security.
