The asymmetrical brass cabinet knob PM/LE/01, part of the Open Manifesto collection, features a distinctive silhouette somewhere between an irregular square and a freeform shape. Specifically, this undefined geometry, shaped entirely by hand, offers a discreet yet expressive presence across modern interior layouts.
Made of solid brass through traditional casting, it retains all the material’s natural advantages: strength, longevity, and the ability to develop a nuanced patina over time. Furthermore, you can explore the history of brass casting and metal finishing techniques in decorative arts. As a result, its intentionally imperfect surface, marked by subtle pits and reliefs, reflects the memory of the hand that shaped it.
Our artisans handcraft every unit individually in our local workshop using manual foundry methods. Metalworkers pour, mold, and finish each piece before applying signature patinas, including aged gold, green grey patina, and dark bronze. Consequently, these artisanal techniques ensure that each hardware item remains subtly unique in tone, weight, and precise proportion.
With its compact 2.5 x 2.5 cm size, it suits drawers, cabinet doors, wardrobes, and small furniture. The through-mount system ensures stable, long-lasting installation for everyday residential use. Moreover, you can complement this piece with our handcrafted custom consoles and architectural wall sconces.
To preserve the hand-applied patina and textured luster, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid applying harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive solvents, or metallic polishes that could strip the protective finish. Therefore, simple dry care will allow the natural patina to evolve gracefully over years of daily handling.
