Paying homage to the form and function of the Bauhaus movement, and its founder, Walter Gropius.
Ashworth design inspiration
The Ashworth collection pays homage to the form and function of the Bauhaus movement. Its founder, Walter Gropius, designed a lever handle in the 1920s which epitomises Bauhaus principles, and remains a popular choice in design schemes today.
Whilst remaining faithful to the original concept, we've made some aesthetic changes to bring the design up to date, including modifying dimensions to suit modern doors, and introducing split finishes.
Our diamond knurl is inspired by the textured, cross-hatched grips of vintage tools.
CNC machined for precision, the diamond knurl texture adds an extra lever of tactility to the Ashworth design, and increases the striking contrast in form between the stem and the grip of the handle.
