What’s So Iconic About d line
An icon is an object of uncritical devotion. A cultural icon builds on this definition by virtue of its significance, status and impact on society. Arne Jacobsen, Danish architect and designer, is one such icon whose designs enjoy worldwide recognition and acclaim.
Through partnership with Danish manufacturer Carl F, Jacobsen designed the AJ Lever handle for the SAS Royal Hotel Copenhagen in 1961.
“For Carl F this meeting constituted the beginning of an iconic collection of beautifully designed lever handles….” Partnering with leading architects and some of the design world’s most creative minds, d line moves the tradition forward presenting IKONS, handles available in Stainless Steel, Brass, and Wood “sealed” with a thin PU lacquer.
As befits a premier innovator in the design and manufacture of modern European architectural hardware, d line opens the IKONS series with Arne Jacobsen’s eponymous lever, an ergonomic design inspired and shaped by his palm gripping a lever handle. This Carl F Lever handles collection includes several other classic yet unique European designs.
Featured alongside Arne Jacobsen, you’ll find this stunning Collective of Collaborative Partners: PLH Architects, Jean Nouvel, AARSTIDERNE Architects, schmidt hammer lassen design, Annelise Bjørner, ONEN, VILHELM LAURITZEN Architects, CUBO, and HENNING LARSEN Architects.
