Christopher Dresser Design Influences New Decorative Line from Hickory Hardware
Studio adds modern sophistication to the home
Hickory Hardware™
(www.hickoryhardware.com),
America's leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of decorative,
functional and industrial hardware, introduces the Studio collection
of decorative cabinet hardware. Inspired by the 19th-Century metalwork
of British artisan Christopher Dresser, the line includes cabinet
knobs and pulls in an assortment of sizes and finishes.
Studio's
clean, post-Victorian style reflects the simple modern aesthetic
of the early Industrial Design movement that Dresser pioneered.
Dresser's vision and forward-looking designs reflected his belief
in compromise between the efficiency of the machine and the skill
of the craftsman.
With geometric forms and a touch of Japanese influence — hallmarks
of Dresser's workshop — the Studio collection blends ornamental
design with functionality. Studio's simplicity and sophistication
places it comfortably in any home decor.
The Studio collection comes in three finish options — Bright
Nickel, Oil-Rubbed Bronze Highlighted and Venetian Bronze —
and includes knobs in 1-inch and 1-1/4-inch diameters, 3-inch, 96mm
and 128mm pulls, and a 3-inch and 96mm cup pull. For more information,
