The Tribal Hardware Collection by Clodagh for Du Verre

If your home has even a hint of the primitive about it, you might want to consider Du Verre’s Tribal Collection of Hardware. This series of knobs and pulls by renowned designer Clodagh was inspired by African weaving sticks and, through Clodagh’s innovative vision, molded and extruded into an exquisite eye-catching detail that will put the finishing touches on any kitchen or bath.

Each of the short, sharp knobs and long, languorous pulls in the Tribal Collection are made from recycled aluminum—an apt choice in light of the Tribal aesthetic, which reminds me of any number of unearthed artifacts one might encounter in the pages of National Geographic.

This suggestion of a found element gives the Tribal Collection singular appeal, as the knobs and pulls evoke rare archeological gems like stone-hammered arrowheads or pre-Cambrian pottery shards, burnished to a high sheen by the earth’s epochal passage.
