The architect Robert Mallet-Stevens (18861945) designed several blocks of flats in Paris in the 1920s. He was probably the first designer to hit upon the idea of taking the tubular handle, splitting it where it bends, and mitering it back together again at right angles. This design is known as the “Frankfurt model,” and there’s a simple reason for this. It was rediscovered for the new Architecture Museum building in Frankfurt and soon took the market by storm.
