Handle Fundamentals examines hardware as an essential architectural detail within the kitchen—the moment where the hand meets the joinery and design becomes tactile. The guide offers a comprehensive overview of ready-made handles alongside custom concepts suitable for fabrication, outlining the principles that govern proportion, touch, finish and spatial balance.

Within its pages, you’ll find guidance on selecting standard hardware, along with examples of bespoke profiles in metal, timber and integrated forms. The discussion illustrates how scale influences visual weight, how materiality shapes user experience and how subtle adjustments in spacing, symmetry or alignment can transform an entire elevation.

Created for renovators, designers and tradespeople, Handle Fundamentals serves as a reliable reference for achieving intentional, cohesive joinery—whether the handle is chosen from a supplier or developed as a custom detail.
