Dudok

Mr. Willem Marinus Dudok (1884 - 1974) was active as an urban planner, designer and municipal architect between 1913 and around the early 1960s. Although the designs of Willem Dudok are mainly known for his straight (geometric) lines, which can also be found in the designs of the architect Andrew Lloyd Wright, other geometric shapes can also be found in his work. The ellipse shape is one of the geometric shapes that can be seen in the facade of the office building De Nederlanden van 1845 in Arnhem and in the shape of the roof of the office building De Nederlanden van 1845 in Rotterdam (where, among other things, the restaurant, Brasserie, Café Dudok is located).

The geometric ellipse shape is a natural and logical shape that gives a soft contour and is also functional. This shape can also be found in the series of Dudok door fittings, window fittings and furniture fittings. This logical shape is timeless and has been used in hardware since the first half of the last century. Because the model is timeless, it fits both within a classic, modern classic, modern, Scandinavian and industrial interior. The Dudok door fittings on interiorhardware.nl therefore also has these characteristics. On interiorhardware.nl the Dudok model is available in black (as pictured left), shiny nickel, brushed nickel, silver antique, rust color, tin color or Bronze Antique. The handle here is made of ebony which is naturally (and therefore thoroughly) black. These door handles are supplied with two round or oval rosettes and the necessary screws in a matching color.
