PONTE Solid Brass Knob

The PONTE Knob is a mushroom: a domed cap, 31mm across, on a waisted stem that flares back out to the door. It is the most familiar shape in cabinet hardware, the knob on a thousand kitchen dressers and painted chests, and the reason it has lasted is that it works. The dome fills the palm, the waist gives the fingers somewhere to sit, and from across the room each one reads as a small, soft full stop on its door.

Ours is machined from solid brass, so the dome is smooth and even and the knob has a weight in the hand (86g) that a hollow or zinc version cannot match. At 27mm off the front it is low enough to wipe round on a vanity and tall enough to grip on a heavy larder door.

Two finishes

Satin Brass is warm and brushed, and keeps a kitchen feeling current. Antique Brass is darker and browner, and deepens further with handling, so the knobs you use most age first, exactly as old brass does.

Where it works best

• Kitchen cupboard doors, with the PONTE Bow Handle on the drawers below
• Painted dressers, sideboards and freestanding larders
• Bedroom wardrobes and chests of drawers
• Bathroom vanities and cloakroom cupboards
• IKEA METOD, PAX and BESTÅ fronts, in the existing knob hole

Fitting

Each knob comes with an M4 x 25mm machine screw, fitted from the back of the front. It is a single fixing, so it drops into any existing knob hole. Longer screws for thicker fronts are available on request. Sold individually, made to order, with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
