The FSB 1289 model authored by designers Markus Michalski and Michael Schmidt boasts up-to-the-minute, pared down styling. Its elegant, finely nuanced flow of lines at the front exudes a clarity that is a joy to behold. The user’s hand is caressed by well-proportioned curvature on the inside of the handle that makes for sumptuous, ergonomically “soft” gripping. The extensive product collection’s formal cohesiveness is very much in tune with the age, moreover, taking account as it does of all types of door and window.
