Curated Collections / d line / Design, Layout & Final Artwork
A comprehensive brand book and product catalogue for d line, the Danish specialist in architectural hardware and sanitary ware. The publication showcases more than 50 years of enduring design philosophy – from Knud Holscher’s iconic bent lever handles to collaborations with Arne Jacobsen and Tom Dixon – celebrating timeless craftsmanship in AISI 316 stainless steel.
