Beijing Round Door Handle - M208
Steven Holl 2008
One project is not comparable to the next; it is unique. The situation is unique, the programme is unique, the site is unique, and therefore the idea that drives the design, the force that drives the design, has to be generated around that locus of circumstances. We have a model shop where we build models to test different strategies. In the models, we use materials according to the design concept. The conceptual idea driving the design has a materiality. It’s different for every project.

Beijing’s aesthetic appeal is due to its classic design (by Steven Holl) combined with Olivari’s fully concealed fixings and single piece rose.
Mechanically, its torsion spring ensures superior handle bounce back and its solid brass construction, with a choice of finishes (including SuperInox with its 30 year anti tarnish guarantee even in sea air) makes it unique in the world of handles.
Stocked locally and suitable for internal & external use on all door types for commercial & residential projects of all sizes.
As standard, it comes with Australian tie through fixings making it 100% compatible with Australian & European style mortice locks and tube latches.
Note: Olivari levers purchased online from Europe do not come with Australian fixings and are not supported locally.

The models are not models for presentations; they are working tools to develop the concepts materially. The next step is going from the materiality of the model to the materiality of construction. The model is an in-between stage. We have been working with Olivari for several years, and our relationship is based on the constant exchange of physical, 3D-milled models that reproduce the final product with all its richness in shape, finish, colour and temperature.
For any given project, I want to be open to whatever the potentials are.

I think our lives today could be enhanced by the kind of emotional variety spaces can give, different kinds of tectonics, different kinds of material, and different kinds of light.
