Doorknobs: Arne Jacobsen AJ handle

The classic AJ Handle manufactured by Carl F Petersen, available in matt nickel or polished unlacquered brass with 50mm diameter visible fixing roses, 8mm spindle, complete with bolt through fixings to suit doors 44mm thickness.
The AJ Handles comes in two different sizes, 97mm and 111mm. When the handles were initially designed for the SAS Royal Hoel in Copenhagen the smaller Jacobsen handles graced the internal doors and the larger doorknobs were used as the hotels exterior doorknobs. This handle blends in beautfiully with the furniture and designed objects that Arne designed for the hotel.
Sadly the AJ Door Handle is only used on internal doors these days, after remodels of the SAS hotel the main room entry comes courtesy of an electronic card reader.
Where to buy:
