ONEN is a small architecture and design studio, emerging from the fi rm 3XN, which its owner helped to establish in 1986. In 2003 the partners of 3XN split amicably. One of the partners took over and established ONEN which continued to build on the designs and design concepts that had been developed during the 3XN period.
ONEN works primarily with building-related design, and their goal is to develop products that provide simple answers to complex problems. They start with the idea that products should support and accentuate the architecture, whether they appear as a minimalistic or more expressive component.
The ONEN-handle was introduced in 2003, and has been used in Deloitte’s administrative offi ce in Denmark, as well as in several housing developments and 3XN’s buildings. The goal was to create a fl at handle as an alternative to the many rounded handles already available. The challenge was to combine round and fl at forms in a form of expression that would seem both simple and elegant.
The lever handle, as well as thumb turn and toilet indicator, are a part of the ONEN-handle series.
