wood doorknob 1 / Maich Swift Architects

Designed by Maich Swift Architects for a solid timber house in Wales, where the interior is almost exclusively timber finishes, this doorknob is simple and unembellished with no back plate. The manufacture employs readily available, small pieces of wood from coppicing and fallen trees using UK sourced timber from broadleafs such as Beech, Ash, Oak, Yew and London Plane. The hardwood handle is durable, smooth and tactile. Natural, hard-wearing finishes are used to seal the wood and will develop a patina through use.
