UNION: One Design - One Handle
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
The handle manufacturer #union CORPORATION (hereinafter, UNION) has teamed up with architect Tsuyoshi Tane of Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects - based in Paris - for an installation at one of the world's largest #design Weeks in Milan, Italy from Tuesday, April 9th through Sunday, April 14th.
UNION got its start as a small hardware store in Osaka right after World War II. In 1958, it began making a name for itself as an architectural hardware manufacturer of door handles, lever handles, and door knobs. With the construction rush of the 1960's that followed, #union started working with renowned architects and designers to craft handles for a variety of buildings and spaces.
Many of UNION's handles were originally custom-designed as single pieces by architects with a specific site in mind. The designs were later passed on and produced for use in other architectural works. Examples of this include the door handle designed by Togo Murano for the entrance to the coffee shop Printemps in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, as well as Shinichi Okada's custom-made handle installed at Japan's Supreme Court upon its completion in 1974.
Through this 60 year process of creating and transmitting specialized door handle expertise, #union today commands more than 80% of the domestic high-end market as Japan's leading figure in the industry. Over the past 60 years, UNION's work has primarily been popular in Japan. In the years to come, #union is committed to crossing borders and taking on new challenges in global cultures and spaces. The door to the world, and to the next 60 years, is opening in Milan.
