A considered first impression. This front entry by @studio_john_irving_architects and @nikkiwilsonstudio favours simplicity, where material and form invite you into EW House. Crafted in solid silicon bronze, our Straight Pull Handle and Round Escutcheon bring a quiet strength to the threshold. Designed to be lived with, shaped by use, and made to last.

Crafted with a minimalist linear design, our Straight Pull Handles come in three sizes and are available as back-to-back pairs or rear fixed singles for cabinetry doors. They are designed to complement our Straight Slim Cabinet and Straight Lever Handles, providing a cohesive look across your hardware selections.
Key Features:
Fixings: Please note when selecting the ‘Back to Back Pair’ option you will receive two handles. For cabinetry handles Rear Fixed Singles are available, these come with countersunk stainless steel screws. Please specify door thickness below.
Made to Order: Our door handles are made to order. Leadtime: 12-14 weeks, however please contact us as we do sometimes have product in stock.
A ‘Living’ Finish: We celebrate the authentic patina of solid bronze. To enhance the natural ageing process, we apply a light patina that will respond to its environment and age over time. We don’t apply artificial 'finishes.’ Instead we embrace the natural, rumbled state of silicon bronze.
Unique Variations: Our products are cast in bronze. Each item will have its own character telling the story of its alchemy. From molten metal to machining and hand finishing, rather than concealing the cast texture, we embrace it.
Our products are crafted from silicon bronze, a material celebrated for its strength, resilience, and timeless appeal. As a noble metal, silicon bronze offers remarkable durability; however, when paired with dissimilar metals like aluminum, it can occasionally result in galvanic corrosion if not installed properly.
To ensure the longevity of your hardware and prevent potential corrosion, we recommend the following tips:Use separation tools: Install nylon or rubber washers between different metals to minimise direct contact.
Apply protective coatings: Use lanolin-based grease or similar products on all contact surfaces.
Regular maintenance: Especially in coastal or high-humidity environments, periodic checks and care will help preserve your hardware's performance and beauty.
