D Line Arne Jacobsen Lever Handle Large

Designed by Arne Jacobsen
Manufactured by D Line

D line levers are designed for constant use. Pushed, turned and bumped over and over again every day – whether in private homes or commercial buildings, government offices and cultural centres. From the curve of a handle, to the 21 ball bearings that roll against each other behind our lever roses, to the hardworking materials they are produced in, d line have always seen every component of every design as having equal importance in the creation of the whole. Both internally and externally, every detail of every d line lever handle is rigorously tested for seamless functioning so that it endures. Then, assisted by the most cutting-edge machinery in our field, each is expertly crafted by hand.

Many more finishes available. Please enquire or see materials section below. 

One of the most distinguished examples of this thinking is the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen which opened in 1961, and in which Jacobsen designed absolutely everything. This included several significant and now-celebrated pieces, from the Egg and Swan chairs to his straight-lined stainless steel cutlery to the d line Arne Jacobsen lever handle.

The characteristic, organic shape is modern in its expression and the quintessence of Danish design, when it is best. The AJ lever handle, which was designed around the shape of a palm’s grip, is handcrafted in high quality stainless steel and applied a silk matt black finish. The unique d line ball bearing system along with the 20-year guarantee on the steel parts is a testament to the enduring design and strength of one of the most iconic lever handles in the world.
