With respect and license

This design principle is based on mathematical concepts already called for by Max Bill in his groundbreaking 1946 work "Die Mathematische Denkweise in der Kunst unserer Zeit". The ULMER GRIFF BY GRIFFWERK represents the world's only licensed reissue of this unique design and thus proudly bears the signature of Max Bill. Discover the timeless beauty and mathematically inspired aesthetics of this unique door handle, which is not only functional, but also a work of art in itself.

Pair of handles incl. rosettes and mounting set

Graphite black

Black is finding its way into architecture, whether on large window fronts, as entrance doors or in interior details. Griffwerk offers the right selection of black fittings. A special feature is the black shade developed by GRIFFWERK, inspired by the black of graphite. The material look is reminiscent of black graphite powder, the feel is surprisingly soft. Graphite black impresses with its unusual, velvety matt finish and soft surface. Graphite black accents can be repeated in the room. They have a very noble effect and do not stand for elegant refinement and luxury for nothing. Griffwerk offers graphite black design in various product categories, allowing a holistic design of any interior. Graphite black is close to the RAL colour RAL 9011 (graphite black). Whether door handle, window handle, handle shell pair or even just handle bar, what is important is a uniform interplay of different colour elements that emerges from a conscious colour concept.

 

A design classic from Ulm

From 1952, Max Bill headed the department for architecture and product form at the HfG Ulm. Together with the student Ernst Moeckl, he developed a door handle for the university building during this time. In 2012, GRIFFWERK reedited this handle in close cooperation with the max, binia + jakob bill stiftung, following the preserved originals.

The Ulm Handle by Max Bill

The ULMER HANDLE reedited by GRIFFWERK features the characteristic, soft transition of form from circle to ellipse. A principle based on mathematics, as Max Bill also called for in his 1946 work "the mathematical way of thinking in the art of our time". The ULMER HANDLE BY GRIFFWERK is the world's only licensed reedition and therefore entitled to bear Max Bill's signature.

In homes today, the Mid-Century Modern furnishing style is often found in sofas and other furniture, but the style is also a furnishing idea for door handles. our door handles are a perfect match.

Would you like a cushion with a zigzag pattern, a whimsical couch or an unusual door handle for a very special flair in your home? Then the ethno living style is the choice for you.

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.

ROUND ROSETTE SETS

Round rosettes are the circular 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. Rosettes combine aesthetic design with functionality. Matching the handle, they are available in the same finishes such as stainless steel, cashmere gray or brass look to suit different interior styles.

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.

A continuing trend: Black Door handles. Griffwerk offers a comprehensive range of these. The special feature: The black door handle is available from Griffwerk in the specially developed black shade Graphite black: particularly matt, high-quality, soft feel.

Many room doors in Germany use a square spindle with a square diameter of 8 millimeters. For BB and PZ locks, a center-to-center distance of 72 millimeters is common. However, deviations are possible—for example, with WC sets, fire- and smoke-rated doors, older doors, or fittings designed for other markets. Therefore, before ordering, measure the square shank size, the door thickness, the mounting distance, and the existing drilling pattern.

DIN EN 1906 "Building hardware - Lever handles and door knobs - Requirements and test methods" specifies properties such as permanent function, corrosion resistance, the free angular movement and displacement of lever handles and door knobs. Door handles are differentiated into categories of use (medium to frequent use by persons with low care), fire resistance (no performance to smoke and fire doors), security (from normal purposes to security requirements), corrosion resistance and burglary resistance.

It is best to buy from specialised retailers, such as timber merchants or glaziers. You can find recommended dealers at www.griffwerk.de/en/store-locator/

Clean door handles regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. None of the cleaning agents should be abrasive, chlorine-based, or harsh. For special finishes, follow the care instructions provided with the product. If you plan to use a disinfectant, it must be suitable for the finish in question.

When selecting a door handle, you should distinguish between the base material and the visible finish. The key factors to consider are the intended use, frequency of use, desired feel, and the door’s design. For frequently used doors, a sturdy Lever handle set designed to withstand the intended wear and tear is recommended. Information on the tested usage category—for example, according to DIN EN 1906—can serve as a guide.

Door handles, stainless steel, are durable and available in a variety of finishes. Depending on the model, additional materials and finishes—such as graphite black, Cashmere grey, Brass effect, or Gold matt—are also available. Match the door handle to the door leaf, frame, and other hardware elements such as Window handles or light switches.

The weight of the door, however, is not a decisive factor in choosing the material for the door handle. It is primarily supported by the door leaf, hinges, door frame, and the overall door construction. Therefore, choose a door handle set that is technically compatible with the door and its intended use.
