Designed by Bertram Beerbaum, our TENSE hardware series is guided by a clean aesthetic that is as robust as it is chic. Every design in the series is unique while at the same time bearing the unmistakable TENSE signature. The core of every design is the cylindrical neck to which each rectangular lever is connected in its own unique way. This is thanks to our extreme high precision welding technique, which forms a secure joint between two very different shapes.
Bertram Beerbaum doesn't just look at the visuals; he also contemplates the story behind them.
Door fittings must look good, sit comfortably in the hand, and the design must be in harmony with the architecture of a building. It may seem like an inconspicuous detail in the home, but the devil is in the detail. Formani regularly presents innovative new collections and is always seeking to collaborate with renowned Dutch designers to do so. An inspiring encounter with Bertram Beerbaum quickly led to new and exciting ideas for door fittings and ultimately to the fantastic ‘Tense’ collection.
Tense by Bertram Beerbaum is a comprehensive concept for door, window, and furniture fittings. The designs are unique, as the neck and arm are joined in unusual ways for each product. The basis of every design is the cylindrical neck to which each lever is connected in its own unique way. The strength of the design lies in its clear, robust, yet chic aesthetic.
