About the Designer
“Designing this handle allowed me to reconnect with the emotions and sensations I felt from the old door handle of my family’s farmhouse. Hammered metal and wrought iron carry a centuries-old story, deeply linked to traditional craftsmanship. By drawing inspiration from these ancestral techniques and merging them with industrial design, my goal was to bring sensitivity and emotion into our interiors. Through this piece, I wanted to pay tribute to the rich French — and more specifically Alsatian — heritage that shaped who I am.”
— Adriana Goepp
Product Overview
Hestia: Where Tradition Meets Modern Design
The Hestia handle, designed by Adriana Goepp, is a tribute to the timeless art of craftsmanship — a meeting point between heritage and modernity. Inspired by the forged metalwork of her family’s farmhouse, Adriana revisits the tactile emotion of hammered steel, transforming it into a refined, contemporary design.
The surface of Hestia, with its subtle hammered texture, evokes the authenticity of hand-forged metal — each reflection playing with light to reveal depth and movement. The handle’s clean, circular silhouette, seamlessly connected to its rosette, creates a visual harmony that feels both architectural and poetic.
Concept and Vision
Hestia design sketch
“In designing Hestia, my goal was to recreate the tactile pleasure of shaped metal — to bring back the feeling of something made with care and meaning.”
Combining industrial precision with artisanal warmth, Hestia embodies the essence of Karl Hoffmann’s design philosophy: elegance, character, and enduring quality. Suitable for modern homes, industrial lofts, or elegant interiors, it brings a touch of craftsmanship and individuality to every space.
