Hardware brand Ashley Norton has introduces new line of door hardware that combines sleek modern lines with distinctive textural pattern details.
“We believe that interaction with architectural hardware should be a pleasant and memorable experience. Adding knurling and reeded textures to the design lends a tactile and visual appeal to the hardware—the only part of a door that users touch multiple times a day,” says Ashish Karnani, vice president of Ashley Norton. “Plus, the combination of clean lines and unique texture gives the collection a particularly luxurious aesthetic.”
With an overall sleek look, each door lever features either a knurled or reeded detail that adds both visual and tactile interest. Part of the Solid Brass Collection, the ergonomic levers provide users with a more pleasant and engaging experience when opening the door—all while speaking to today’s desire for modern luxury, the Pompton Plains, N.J.-based company says.
The Luxe Modern Leverset collection consists of the geometric Knurled Bauhaus lever, the tubular Knurled Fountain lever, and the cap-styled Knurled Phoenix lever— all of which includes a unique hash mark-styled knurling detail. “A reeded pattern, similar to the ridges found on the side of a dime, adorns the Reeded Bauhaus lever and Reeded Fountain lever,” the company says.
Products are forged from solid brass to allow for superior quality and polish, and they Luxe Modern Leversets are available in seven finishes that include Satin Brass, Venetian Bronze, Satin Chrome, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Unlacquered Brass, and Flat Black.
Designed for use in high-end residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, passage sets start from $230.
