Top 6 FORMANI Ergonomic Door Handles

Balancing Style and Comfort in Design

Ergonomics is the art of designing products that prioritize human comfort and efficiency, making our interactions with everyday objects intuitive and enjoyable. This concept is especially critical for frequently used items like door handles, where comfort and ease of use can significantly elevate daily experiences. At FORMANI, we believe that style and function should work in harmony, without compromise. In this blog, we present six exceptional door handles that beautifully integrate form and function, enhancing both the visual and tactile aspects of any space.

1. ONE by Piet Boon: Versatile Design for Personalized Comfort

The ONE by Piet Boon collection showcases a minimalist tubular design, offering a smooth, ergonomic grip that fits comfortably in the hand. What makes this handle truly versatile is its adaptability—available in both L-shape and T-shape variations, as well as in different lengths and thicknesses. This flexibility allows for customization based on personal preference, ensuring that you can select a wider handle for a more substantial grip or opt for a sleeker version for a more streamlined look. The simplicity of the design means it blends seamlessly into any space, offering ease of use without sacrificing elegance.

Additionally, the ONE series is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, enhancing both durability and the tactile experience. Its corrosion resistance and polished finish ensure that the handle remains both visually appealing and comfortable to the touch for years to come.

2. INC by Piet Boon: Streamlined Elegance with a Smooth Grip

The INC by Piet Boon handle is a perfect example of refined simplicity, combining clean lines with ergonomic excellence. Its sleek, tapered shape fits naturally in the hand, while the gently rounded edges enhance comfort and grip security. The subtle incline towards the end of the handle provides additional surface area, allowing for a smoother interaction. This design is ideal for minimalist interiors, where aesthetics and functionality merge effortlessly.

In addition to its visual appeal, the INC handle is designed with ergonomic considerations to ensure ease of use for hands of all sizes. The model is available in three variants that feature the exact same elegant design but differ in thickness and length. This allows users to select the version that best fits their hand, offering a tailored  experience without compromising on style. The thoughtful balance between its aesthetic form and user comfort ensures that the INC handle not only looks stunning but also feels intuitive and natural to use.

3. TWO by Piet Boon: Natural Beauty with a Comfortable Touch

Crafted from oak wood, the TWO by Piet Boon handle exudes warmth and natural beauty, bringing an organic touch to any interior. The design features two symmetrical parts that are positioned in reverse to each other, creating a shape that perfectly fits the natural opening of the hand. This symmetry ensures that the handle provides both a firm and comfortable grip, aligning with the hand’s movements for an ergonomic experience. For those who appreciate the harmony of nature and design, this handle is an embodiment of how aesthetics and functionality can come together in a single, elegant product.

What sets the TWO handle apart is not only its comfort but also its sustainability. Oak wood is a renewable resource, and the finishes applied to the handle are designed to protect the wood while maintaining its natural beauty. This sustainable approach aligns with FORMANI’s commitment to creating long-lasting, environmentally conscious products.

In addition to the oak wood version, the TWO handle is also available in a fully stainless steel variant. While it lacks the organic texture of wood, the stainless steel model retains the ergonomic benefits of the design. The two symmetrical sections, when joined, create an ideal shape for a natural, comfortable grip. This option provides a sleek, modern aesthetic while maintaining the ease of use and comfort that defines the TWO series. Whether in wood or steel, the design prioritizes both style and usability, making it a versatile choice for any space.
