Door Handles & Levers

Luxury kitchen hardware should do more than open a drawer. At MI&GEI, pulls, knobs, handles and wall rails are conceived as one family of objects, bringing rhythm to cabinets, islands and pantry doors. Every piece is cast in solid brass and finished by hand, so it carries the trace of its making rather than the uniformity of a machine.

Kitchen cabinet hardware works at two scales. A knob marks a point, a pull draws a line. Most kitchens read best with knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers, the longest pulls kept for wide or heavy fronts. Center to center measurement matters more than overall length: 3, 3.75, 4, 5, 6 and 8 inches cover most American cabinetry, and matching the existing drilling is the difference between a fifteen minute change and a full refit. For the cabinetry alone, the complete range of designer cabinet hardware goes further than what is gathered here, and the longer drawer pulls are grouped in their own collection.

Six finishes are available, from raw brass to carbon black. Choose one for a quiet continuity across the room, or let a dominant finish carry the cabinetry while a second appears on the faucet, the lighting or a single island. Each finish also has its own kitchen edit: brass kitchen hardware for warmth, bronze kitchen hardware for depth, champagne bronze for a softer glow and polished nickel for a cooler, brighter room. Unlacquered brass is a living finish. It darkens, brightens where hands pass, and settles into a tone no factory could apply.

Because each form exists in several lengths and finishes, a kitchen can be composed rather than ordered as a set. Repeat one silhouette for calm, or combine scales for a room that feels collected over years. The result is luxury kitchen hardware with the presence of jewelry and the usefulness of a tool, made for kitchens that evolve with the people in them.
