Design is in the details. Function is in the placement.

The way a cabinet opens, how it feels, where you grab it, the shape beneath your fingers, it all starts with the handle.

But not all handles belong in the same place.

Some are designed for reach.

Some for symmetry.

Some to simply disappear into the moment.

Here’s how we use them, and why:

🟡  Knobs

Small footprint. Big character.

→ Best for: upper cabinets, shaker fronts, bedside drawers

→ Adds lightness to smaller spaces, perfect for soft detail work

🟡 Pulls and Bar Handles

Linear strength, strong grip, minimal weight.

→ Best for: kitchen drawers, built-ins, wardrobes

→ Works in repetition or isolation, creates rhythm across cabinetry

🟡 T-bars

Tactile and architectural.

→ Best for: tall doors, pan drawers, integrated appliances

→ Centres strength where you need it, bold, balanced, intentional
