OGRO 8115: Reinventing the Door Handle

A Harmonic Blend of Form and Function

The OGRO 8115 door furniture range demonstrates how everyday objects can be reinvented without losing their essential utility.

The door handle series Ogro 8115 by Dorma, designed by Aleks Tatic and Bernhard Heitz, is a testament to the power of innovative design. With a focus on harmonious and clearly defined radii, this range seamlessly integrates into any architectural environment. The ergonomic shapes and surfaces offer a unique haptic experience, making it a pleasure to interact with.

What sets the Ogro 8115 range apart is its attention to detail and craftsmanship. Made through a handcrafted production process of casting, grinding, and polishing, each piece is meticulously created to ensure a flawless finish. The range includes standard handles, safety handles, pull handles, and door knobs, providing a comprehensive solution for any door.

One of the standout features of the Ogro 8115 range is its ergonomic design. The clearly defined radii, contrasted with the full radii element, enhance the product's usability and comfort. The overall dimensions are carefully adapted to human motion sequences, making it effortless to operate.

Not only does the Ogro 8115 range excel in design and functionality, but it also meets EU-Norms, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. This attention to detail and commitment to excellence is a testament to the designers' dedication to creating a superior product.

The design journey of the Ogro 8115 range began in 2013 with the basic normative handle range. Over time, it evolved to include a range of pull handles and handles with internal batteries, which were presented and launched at the BAU 2015 in Munich. The designers, Aleks Tatic and Bernhard Heitz, worked closely together to overcome the challenge of reinventing an everyday object while adding a meaningful benefit to the user.

The OGRO 8115 door furniture range has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components Design category in 2015. This prestigious award celebrates the range's exceptional expertise, innovation, and artistic skill, which have captivated audiences and introduced a sense of wonder and amazement.

The OGRO 8115 door furniture range is a testament to the power of design to transform everyday objects into extraordinary pieces. With its seamless integration into any architectural environment, ergonomic design, and meticulous craftsmanship, it is a true example of innovation and excellence in the world of door handles.
