Bob Manders’ designs reflect a true understanding of the past and a great fascination for innovation, resulting in a balanced space. The unpredictability and innovativeness of his designs are evident in the FORMANI RIBBON by Bob Manders series. This hardware collection is based on the architectural principle ‘RIBBON’, where walls, floors, and roof unite within a building to form a single, self-supporting yet interlinked structure. This construction results in a continued sense of movement and momentum as the spaces flow into one another. His passion for innovation is reflected in the way the lever handle is shaped.
