In designing the Hako handle, Danish studio Steffensen & Würtz drew inspiration from the intricate Japanese craft of box making, known as hako-tsukuri, and the meticulous preparation that goes into it. As simple as it may seem, creating a flawless block of wood requires exceptional technical expertise, with every detail carefully honed, from polished edges to the seamless fit of parts and perfectly smooth surfaces. This quest for understated quality embodies the philosophy behind Hako, a handle that decorates by its very presence.
The Hako handle is distinguished by its exquisite woodworking, which masterfully combines a square-profile central body with attachment bases that merge into a single, cohesive element. This join is imperceptible to the touch, revealed only by the interplay of contrasting grain ? a hallmark of refined Japanese furniture. Hako's clean, straight lines make it ideal for high-end projects where every accessory exudes exclusivity. With lengths ranging from 76 mm to an impressive 988 mm, including a 348 mm option, it is a versatile piece designed to complement all types of furniture. The long 988 mm version transforms any wardrobe into a statement piece. Thoughtful details such as its distinctive base and the warm texture of its wood bring a touch of design sophistication to any corner of the home. It is available in oak and walnut, both of which offer a pleasant, warm feel. In knob format, it has a non-twisting tip to ensure stability.
