Knud Holscher has received more than 70 awards, including numerous iF Design Awards for outstanding design, dating back to 1978 with the first lever handles and doorstops created for d line.
Functionality, simplicity and quality
Danish architect and industrial designer Knud Holscher has been involved with d line since its inception, creating the first unified collection of architectural hardware in 1971, described as ‘modest design that is designed to last’. Holscher created a collection of award-winning, minimalist architectural hardware for d line, beginning with the iconic U and L-shaped levers. Their signature curve would go on to shape the design of the entire product line.
