Door knobs, the customised universe of the apartment

Since forever, the door knob, or handle, was a simple element of locksmith work to close or open a door and activate the mechanism. But it is now a decoration accessory that makes all the difference at home, it offers a certain style to our interiors by telling a romanced story pertaining to our tastes and our way of life..

The door knob, pride of beautiful apartments

Forget basic door and window catches ! Today, the handle is such a serious business that leading designers and decorators conceive them by conveying their creativity, using a wide array of precious materials. Ruhlmann, Puiforcat, Prou, Bourdelle, Maillol, Gio Ponti, Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid or Jean Nouvel each have their handles, from the living room to the bathroom. Vintage, classic, contemporary or revolutionary, everything is a question of tastes… and budgets.
