AJ Handle

The AJ Handle
was designed and developed in 1955-56 by Arne Jacobsen with Carl F. This exclusive lever handle was designed for the SAS Royal Hotel, which was inaugurated in 1961 in Copenhagen as a modern "concept-hotel", where Jacobsen's mark can be found on door handles, ashtrays, cutlery, tableware, chairs, tables, lamps, textiles and naturally, in the building itself.

International attention on the quality of Jacobsen the Dane is especially focussed on four of the world's most famous chairs: the Ant and the Series Seven, of which over five million have been made and, of course, there are those sought-after armchairs, the Swan and the Egg which were originally designed for the SAS Royal Hotel just like the AJ Handle.

Technical Data:
The classic AJ Handle has been reviewed technically and now it meets the demand from the building industry. The development acknowledges the original design which has not been changed.

Today the AJ Handle comes in two models: Satin Nickel and polished brass. The smaller version has a 97 mm handle and the larger version has 111 mm handle suitable for outer doors. Both handle sizes are supplied with either rosettes or fixed ball-bearing rosettes, thereby optimizing function and wearing qualities.

To meet the international requirements the AJ Handle is produced in two versions with different fixing centers: 30 mm and 38 mm.
The different accessories e. i. stile back plates or key cylinder make the AJ Handle suitable for most purposes.
