Karcher Design
Internationally Recognized.
Industry Award-Winning.
Karcher Design’s commitment to German precision engineering has been validated by some of the world’s most respected design institutions. The Paris ER55, designed by Italian product designer Itamar Harari, received the Callwey Award 2020 “Best Product” and the German Design Award 2021 Special Mention in the Building Elements category — one of the most prestigious design recognitions in the world. The Mission Invisible collection was further honoured with the Architizer A+Product Award, selected from thousands of entries by architects and specifiers globally. These are not marketing awards. They are independent, jury-evaluated recognitions of engineering excellence and design innovation.
What "German-Engineered" Actually Means for a Door Handle
Karcher Design handles are certified to DIN EN 1906 Class 3 and Class 4 — Germany’s stringent industrial standard for lever handle performance under repeated load, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability. Class 4 represents the highest civilian performance classification, tested for buildings with the heaviest usage demands. The EN1627 certification further validates resistance to forced entry — a standard required for security-critical applications. Handles are produced using precision stainless steel and zamac alloy casting with multiple surface treatments including powder-coated Cosmos Black, Diamond Touch satin stainless steel, and satin brass — each finished to resist scratching and corrosion over decades of use. Karcher’s proprietary concealed-fixing rose technology means no visible screws, no future loosening, and a clean architectural finish that mass-market handles simply cannot replicate.
Award-Winning
RED DOT DESIGN AWARD
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the largest design competitions worldwide. Participants can enter in three disciplines: Product Design, Brands & Communication Design and Design Concept. For each award, a jury meets annually to review the submissions individually and then subsequently decide on the awards.
MUUUZ AWARD
The Muuuz International Awards are organised by ArchiDesignClub in collaboration with Muuuz magazine. Each year, they honour the most outstanding new products in the field of architecture, including a total of six categories: Construction & Architecture Layout, Coatings & Materials, Home Furniture, Lighting, Kitchen & Bathroom and Outdoor.
GERMAN DESIGN AWARD
The German Design Award has been honouring innovative products and projects as well as manufacturers and designers in the German and international design industry since 2011. In the first year, the award operated under the name “Designpreis Deutschland”. To avoid confusion with the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Design Council changed the name of the award.
CALLWEY AWARD
The “Solutions of the Year” prize, which we award as part of the “Hous-es of the Year” competition, seeks out and rewards the most innovative product solutions for professional house building. Manufacturing companies can submit products and receive awards in the following categories: Lighting, Kitchen & Kitchen Fittings, Bathroom & Sanitary, Exterior Wall & Facade, Windows, Doors & Gates, Flooring & Design Flooring, Interior Wall Design, Heating & Ventilation, Sunscreen & Privacy, Building Services, Stairs & Lifts and Roofing.

COSMOS BLACK
The Cosmos black range has been very well received by our customers, and is becoming ever more popular with architects. Renowned architects like Saguez & Partners, Quadrilatère or Architecture Studio have already been convinced by Cosmos black. The finish is applied electrostatically as a powder coating. This procedure does not require the use of solvents creating an eco-friendly high-quality product.
KARCHER door handles in “Cosmos Black” are scratch-proof as well as highly resistant to corrosion. The particularly matt and soft black surface convinces with its pleasant feel and thus stands for high design quality and outstanding design. High-end offices, like those of Christian Dior Parfum and WeWork in Paris, or the Hotel Kimpton De Witt in Amsterdam show that door handles from Karcher Design can be inserted seamlessly into both designer and high-traffic applications. Our handles represent the perfect blend of modern design and functionality.
Mission Invisible
Minimalist design with great effect
Our new, Mission Invisible “collection was nominated for the Callwey Award in May 2021 and received the award in the category, Solution of the Year 2021” in October 2021. But it didn’t stop at achieving just one award. The Muuuz International Awards (MIAW) annually honour the most outstanding products from the construction, landscape and decoration sectors. This year‘s nominated products were assessed and divided into four main criteria: Design, Originality, Use and Technology.
Once again, our product range, consisting of the newly developed minirosettes and the bespoke design models Soho, Boston and Brooklyn, were outstanding in all four main criteria and was subsequently awarded the MIAW Award 2021 in the interior design category.
