It’s in your hands. Evolutionary superiority isn’t necessarily about being the strongest. It’s in your hands. 3 FSB. Founded in 1881. Quality “made in Germany” for all door hardware. Our logo handle by philosopher-cumarchitect Ludwig Wittgenstein sums up our holistic perception of architecture – a handle is always more than just a handle for us. As the interface between buildings and their users it is one of the key elements in the architectural shaping of detail. The Wittgenstein handle quintessentially embodies an architecturally driven perception of hardware in which the function and application of any building element are viewed as constituent parts of an allembracing whole. This approach likewise applies unrestr ictedly to FSB’s involvement at international level, which is geared towards the global public project business with its focus on the whole door. The handle’s many layers of significance as a) extension of the human hand and b) interface between people and architecture continue to point the way for us to this end. FSB has won many awards for outstanding design and was the first makers of door hardware to be represented in the permanent exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. It is a company that marries looks of the highest order to the lasting dependability of its products’ functions, engineering and quality. Philosopher and architect Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) Wittgenstein handle 1147, FSB logo FSB was the first architectural hardware company anywhere in the world to satisfy the stringent conditions of the Environ mental Product Declaration ISO 14 025 and is thus doing its bit for sustainable architecture. The Wittgenstein House, Vienna 1928 FSB: project hardware with a unique systemic depth REG.NO. DE-108-00003 4 5 Premium hardware programme for aspiring architecture. FSB Premium hardware programme It’s in your hands. Single source We specialise in hardware for major international architecture projects and aspire to provide systemic expertise c overing all hardware requirements for the operation of doors and windows. We ensure that all components for points of entry and exit suit your own overall architectural design. Our one-stop-shop concept simplifies your planning, purchasing, invoicing and warranty m anagement input. Architectural hardware solutions The FSB hardware programme embraces all components for system-driven door planning – and is certainly no random jumble of formally and visually disparate individual products. The FSB range includes door lever handles with standard, heavy-duty and fire-safety bearings as well as hinges, door closers, locks plus lock cylinders and, of course, window handles and accessory products such as door stops and finger plates. FSB 0105 Silver Anodised Aluminium FSB makes sole use of pure smelted alloys as provided for in DIN 1725 in its aluminium products. Its finishes are protected by a process of anodisation and, once they have undergone two-stage staining, are lastingly sealed against corrosion and the effects of light and the climate. FSB 6204 Satin Matt Stainless Steel An extremely corrosion-resistant and durable material that is particularly easycare due to the inclusion of chrome and nickel in the alloy and is ideal, therefore, for heavily frequented doors and window handles in constant use. Uniform material and finish We strive to deliver uniform materials and finishes throughout the FSB range of door hardware for consistency of architectural and aesthetic intent. FSB has set global benchmarks with its breadth of materials and its particularly fine finishes. FSB 7615 Bronze Bright Patinated We use a copper-tin alloy containing 92 % copper for our rugged bronze fittings. This makes them unbeatably corrosion-resistant, and gives them great tensile strength and hardness. The copper has disinfectant properties, moreover, explaining why it is a preferred choice wherever hygiene is of the essence as in hospitals and nursing wards. A specially developed technique can be adopted to artificially age bronze and lend it a very compelling patina. 7 FSB handle ranges Assert your architectural fingerprint down to the last detail. Every building has a different set of use requirements to fulfil and these are also mirrored in the door planning process. Part and parcel of any worthwhile set of door equipment are door fittings that are functionally compelling and conform to building regulations. All of FSB’s ranges of models fit the bill. Model 1144, for instance, which was conceived by the English designer Jasper Morrison: his handle collection contains door levers, entrance door furniture, lever handles for narrow-frame doors – cranked and in-line – and window handles with and without a locking capability. As is the case with all FSB models, 1144 comes in a heavy-duty version with an AGL® compensating bearing, in an AGL® FS fire-safety variant and in the standard FD model for the private sphere. FSB’s range of fittings offer the architect the opportunity to fulfil their ultimate desire, which is to match up the design, material and finish of all operating hardware, thus providing a continuum of design and aesthetic intent that is unparalleled in the door hardware industry. The FSB range adds up to a uniquely wide variety of models that can be perused in our Manual, at our website or at your local trade stocklist’s. 12 A design’s quality only becomes apparent once the fine detail has been completed. Given that the form, colour, material and structure of any fitting are crucial to the design’s overall impact, planning the technical features is a vital aspect of the design process. It is the fine detail that reflects the formal idea underpinning any aesthetic concept after all.

Hinges blend in formally with FSB door handle design lines, including in terms of their finishes. Conformance to: CE, EN 1935, ANSI/BHMA Standard A156.1 2. Door closers A distinctive design concept covering all working and non-working parts in FSB door closers has been developed that has no equal in the marketplace. The housing is in two parts and completely encloses the door closer, lending the material and finish for FSB door closers a seamless, end-to-end 17 18 appearance that is intensely engaging. The range comprises standard and rail-based door closers (optionally with concealed fitting). Conformance to: CE, EN 1154, ANSI/ BHMA Standard A156.4 3. Locking systems The FSB range of locks comprises Class 3 and 5 mortice locks as well as Class 3 frame door locks and locks to the US standard.

Conformance to: CE, EN 12 209, DIN 18 250, DIN 18 251-1, ANSI/BHMA Standard A156.13, GOST R 52582-2006, GOST 5089-2003, GOST 538-2001 4. Handles and handle systems FSB has set internationally valid benchmarks for ambitious design and function in architecture with its handles. Its Standard FD, AGL® and GL® FS bearings are up to all requirements in public project applications. FSB lever handles conform to EN 1906, DIN 18 255, DIN 18 273, EN 1634-1, ANSI/BHMA Standard A.156.6 ; FSB door pulls conform to BS 8424, ANSI/BHMA Standard A.156.650 5. Accessories for the protection of doors Public project doors, as is well known, have to put up with a lot of heavy treatment. People are constantly grabbing the handles, the door face is touched, fingered, kicked – or else the door as a whole is simply opened and closed with brute force. FSB supplies a full selection of accessories designed to protect doors against all this: large-format backplates or finger plates – in customised formats and forms if so desired - kicking plates and, indeed, a comprehensive range of floor and wall-mounted door stops to complement any of FSB’s door handle design lines. 6. Spatial orientation FSB supplies none other than the pictogram system created by the German designer Otl Aicher for the 1972 Olympic Games. Aicher’s pictogram system continues to be regarded as a global yardstick and cultural milestone. 7. Hardware solutions for emergency exits FSB supplies the broadest range of emergency exit hardware – both for frame and flush doors. Also included are visually cohesive, certificated system solutions for panic doors. Conformance to: EN 179 and EN 1125 respectively, ANSI/BHMA Standard A156.3 8. Window handles For every FSB door handle there is a matching window handle. FSB is one of only two manufacturers worldwide to fit its window handles with a RAL-tested 4-point click-stop mechanism. The click-stop mechanism guarantees precise positioning in line with the various locking statuses.

This also involves bringing about a harmonious balance between building authority provisions, technical and functional parameters as well as providing a visual benchmark for designs and finishes. The outcome of joint deliberation by our representatives with architects, designers and clients can be truly impressive. Ideas, design visions and budgetary requirements converge on the FSB project-specific sample board. Whether it stands in the architect’s office or as a showpiece in the client’s own office, this sample board clearly underlines how we see ourselves: Quality for doors and windows “made in Germany”. Since 1881. FSB specimen boards give you an immediate feel for the superior quality of our products. 20 21 German Design Culture From common-place to cultural asset. It used to be said that modernist German design was sober, severe, matter-of-fact and orderly. Some felt it was short on lust for life and glamour and long on boredom. In an age in which function was going into overdrive, meanwhile, others began to find beauty in uncluttered forms and elegance in straight lines. next to no time due to the outcome of this workshop and to the event itself. One person who appreciates orderliness is Apple’s chief designer Jonathan Ive. He cites Dieter Rams as a force behind his work, a man who, as one of the best-known designers in Germany, came to be the very epitome of West German design through his more than twenty years’ work for Messrs Braun. Ive’s iPods and iPhones for Apple have instilled sexiness into functionalist forms that were long accused of lacking emotion. Otl Aicher also refashioned the FSB logo, taking as his point of departure a handle designed by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein – no pictogram could have fewer frills – for the house his sister had built in Vienna between 1926 and 1928. Miele works design 2008 Role model Dieter Rams Aicher also thought up the Four-Point Guide to Good Grip – thumb brake, forefinger furrow, support for the palm and gripping volume – that served thenceforth as a means of gauging the quality of handle designs. 1987 saw FSB initiate what must be one of the most comprehensive series of publications by any company on the cultural history of its own core product. FSB proceeded to publish books on philosophy, ergonomics, artistic subjects and even literary issues as they affect the handle. 5. SK 4 radiogram 1.

Front-loading washer W 1000 S The germ cell of functionalism is considered to have been the Ulm Design College (1954–1968), set up after the Second World War with the lofty aim of harnessing better design to the cause of creating a similarly better democratic society. The big names in West Germany’s subsequent design history studied and taught here, this is where the first cooperative ventures with companies such as Braun were entered into, and it was here that concepts of good, timeless form defined solely by its function were spawned. One of the College’s co-founders and first lecturers was graphic artist Otl Aicher, who was to shape the perception of West German design for decades with work such as the corporate identity he fashioned for Lufthansa or his visuals for the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, from which a new image of Germany went round the world not least due to Aicher’s own work. Better society through better design FSB joined forces with Aicher to come up with a new corporate identity and a fundamentally new design culture, one that, as well as addressing the company’s origins and tradition, also takes in the cultural history of the handle and, indeed, the entire history of the holding process. This led to the unearthing of the handle as a design issue: in 1986, FSB invited the likes of Mario Botta, Peter Eisenman, Hans Hollein, Alessandro Mendini and Dieter Rams to the first Handle Workshop in Brakel.

Fitting Tara The company effectively wrote the design history of the door handle, a topic that had already been aired in Scandinavian modernism, at the “Bauhaus” or at the Design College in Ulm, one to which designers such as Alvar Aalto, Max Bill or Arne Jacobsen too had turned. The huge popularity of these books caused some critics to jestingly muse that FSB must be a publishers able to afford the luxury of making handles as a sideline.

You may wish to call that clever marketing, but it is also possible to see in it the design earnest and sense of responsibility that has now once again allowed German design and design-oriented German enterprises to be celebrated, and occasionally even loved, the world over. 9.
