This item is performed in the Bauhaus style (ca. 1918 - 1938).

Created in Germany by Architect Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus school searches for solutions to contemporary problems by developing high quality utilitarian mass produced products as a way to cover vital needs for an impoverished post world war I Germany.

In the area of design, the study of handicraft was considered the natural way for artists to master the qualities of materials and form so that they could design well for mass production. In these respects, and in the minimizing of philosophy and other verbal disciplines, the Bauhaus was the earliest working example of much contemporary design education becoming a consulting center for industry and the trades.

Lack of ornament, pure function adapting design to the world of machines are some of the most evident characteristics of the Bauhaus school of art and design.

This product is supplied by Fersa, established in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1941 by Mr. Jules Samuel. Mr. Samuel was born in Belgium in 1901.
Mr. Samuel continued a long tradition of handcrafted decorative hardware made in France by establishing a factory in Buenos Aires, when imports from Europe were disrupted by World War II.
.

From the very beginning the company was devoted to developing new and innovative products, following the finest European designs and traditions. The quality of work is ensured by the skilled Italian and Spanish metal artisans who had migrated to Argentina since the beginning of the 20th century.
This history of excellence in both reproducing period hardware using ancient methods (sand cast foundry, metal chiseling and mercury gold plating), and developing new designs of superb quality, has allowed Fersa to hold the leading position within the Latin American decorative-hardware market, for over 60 years.

Through all these years Fersa has completed many ambitious commissions and served the most demanding clients in Argentina, including:

• US Ambassador´s Residence in Buenos Aires
• Palace of Justice
• Argentine National Congress
• Municipality
• National Bank
• Automovil Club Argentino

As in the old days, Fersa continues to create new designs as well as preserving its traditional period pieces. Fersa is constantly growing into the global market, reaching different countries with its original service-oriented philosophy.
Now, thanks to the power of the Internet, Fersa's products are accessible to all architects and interior designers searching for something special to offer to their clients, worldwide.

Fersa's fiercely maintained artistic heritage represents the poetry of creative power, combining comfort and the old world´s grand style.
