Mission Invisible. Minimalist - designs reduced to the essentials is the main characteristic of modern, purist interior design. KARCHER DESIGN has dedicated their mission to this style, and developed a new concept in which the door handle and rosette appear to be almost invisible: "The Mission Invisible”. The result is a mini rose with a diameter of just 30 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The rosette disappears almost completely behind the door handle and reduces the door fitting to a minimum. A total of six matching door handle models are available in classic matt stainless steel, the multi-award-winning trend colour Cosmos Black and the contrasting new colour Polaris White. The model Soho ER57 was developed in collaboration with the product designer Itamar Harari. The challenge was to design the door handles in such a way that the rose becomes invisible. The goal; to merge the door handle and the rose into one unit. The Soho ER57 model exhibits clear edges with rounded elements. This balanced interplay of forms allows the door handle to rest ergonomically in the hand. To make the door fittings appear even more unnoticeable in the ambience of the room, KARCHER DESIGN developed the colour Polaris white, especially for white doors. The white colour blends seamlessly into the background of a white door, making the door fitting invisible. In order to make the mini-rose as minimalist as possible from a technical point of view, the rosette is not screwed on. The mini-rose is simply pressed into the door. The small serrations anchor the rose firmly in the door leaf. This innovative mounting technique does not require additional drilling in the door leaf and is particularly durable. The door handles are fixed to the spindle by means of the grub screw. On request, the mini-rose can also be combined with other models in the KARCHER DESIGN range. With the help of the aforementioned elements, KARCHER DESIGN has fulfilled its mission. The 30 mm small mini-rose disappears behind the door handle, innovative designs make the new door handles unnoticeable and the new colour Polaris white creates perfect uniformity with the doors. Combined together, the ideal solution is a success for the "Mission Invisible".
