Knob Castings - For an Organic Feel

February 9th, 2007

In the ’60s, art began taking a fluidic, organic form, ostensibly a result of the influence of an emerging unusual cultural.  These influences elevated the random, the organic and the fluidic parts of nature.  I suppose that the classic paisley form represents this style as an icon.

Today, metal castings can present similar fluidic and organic forms, while retaining the rugged and utilitarian nature intrinsic to such manufactures.  I don’t know how manufacturers of this class of drawer pulls and cabinet knobs, such as Emenee Kitchen Cabinet Hardware, create their forms (are the objects cast in clay or wax first?), but you can sense the influence of the ’60s mindset in some of the products.

The colors and metal castings come in several type including aged brass, antique brass, antique bright brass, antique bright copper, antique bright gold, antique bright silver, antique matte brass, antique matte copper, antique matte gold, antique matte silver, black, gunmetal, old world copper, pewter and warm pewter.  With these materials, you can find quite an array of rugged shapes, images, styles and themes.  You can also find less durable but nonetheless appealing enameled objects.  You can choose a Western motif, things from the garden or workshop, shapes that children would recognize, or a wide variety of natural shapes and objects.

You owe it to yourself to explore the options at www.knobshingesandmore.com and discover what this artistic influence from the past can do to provide you a rugged, organic experience in your living spaces.
