Fat Thumb Turn, Ø70, cc30, 36-68, satin finish. The FAT collection is a series of architectural hardware pieces designed by English industrial designer Tom Dixon. Angular and bulbous, the pieces are a testament to form following function, whilst maintaining a humorous silhouette and a reductionist aesthetic. FAT is part of a fuller series by Tom Dixon including dining chairs, bar stools and lounge chairs. Material: stainless steel AISI 316 satin finish. W:70 mm x H:70 mm x D:34 mm.
Together with British designer Tom Dixon we’ve created FAT, a new line of hardware pieces.
Our Ø70mm Fat thumb turn is enduringly crafted in the highly resilient AISI 316 stainless steel preferred by d line and enhanced by a 20-year product guarantee.
The Fat collection comprises a lever handle, key escutcheon and thumb turn, as well as a door knocker, pull handle, flush pull and door stop. Like the rest of the d line portfolio, each piece is minimalist enough to be timeless in its design, its beauty coming from its rounded profile and inflated silhouette, rather than from superfluous details.
Tom Dixon uses the word ‘fat’ to imply generosity and softness of form. The result lacks any trace of sharpness or angularity and is a collection of pumped-up pieces that are simply ‘fatter’ than the norm.
The collection is available in PVD charcoal, electric blue, PVD polished brass and our signature satin stainless steel.
To achieve the collection’s aesthetic, Tom Dixon has magnified the silhouette of each piece’s ‘normal’ aesthetic. That’s why the diameter of our Fat lever roses and escutcheons are Ø70mm. This means, that our Fat lever handle, escutcheons and thumb turns will match lock cases where the backset minus the rebate is a minimum of 40mm. The center distance between the lever handle and escutcheon/thumb turn should also be a minimum of 71mm.
