The front of the house at golden hour: a tall timber front door with a square timber handle, a glass sidelight with a potted fig, and stone piers.

Our story

Entry door handles, designed and made in Adelaide.

The handle is the first thing you touch when you come home. Arc-Haus makes entry door handles, and nothing else.

Somerton White, a square white aluminium handle on its bracket, on a timber-batten wall.

It started in a furniture workshop

Ben Pfitzner grew up in Adelaide, in his father's furniture workshop. He studied Industrial Design at the University of South Australia, then spent 20 years designing products for other people. In 2021 he started Arc-Haus, to make his own.

Handles, and nothing else

Every Arc-Haus handle is designed and made in our Adelaide workshop. There are seven, in three shapes, in aluminium or Victorian Ash.

Henley, a square handle in pale Victorian Ash on its bracket, on a timber-batten wall.

Our timber is Victorian Ash

The timber is supplied by Australian Timbers in Gilman, South Australia, and certified under Responsible Wood, the Australian scheme endorsed by PEFC. Our timber handles leave the workshop natural, so the stain is your choice.

Seven handles

Three shapes: round, square and a D shape. Five are aluminium, in black or white, and two are Victorian Ash.
