Introducing Puddle Knobs, a crafted creation by Kelly Hayes, an industrial designer hailing from the San Francisco.
These artisanal hardware pieces are a delightful exploration into the world of molten metal, handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail.
Each knob tells a story of its own, shaped by the natural ebb and flow of molten metal. Through a fascinating process, Hayes captures the essence of surface tension, resulting in a textured surface reminiscent of delicate craters. This unique imprint is a nod to the organic interaction between metal and sand, infusing each knob with a sense of natural beauty and authenticity.
Embracing sustainability as a guiding principle, Puddle Knobs are hand-poured from recycled aluminum, echoing Hayes' commitment to environmental consciousness. Each piece boasts its own individuality in shape and size, adding a touch of character to every installation.
In line with Hayes' ethos, the packaging of Puddle Knobs reflects a dedication to eco-friendly practices. Crafted from straw waste sourced from Upstate New York and printed locally in San Francisco, the envelopes embody a harmonious blend of functionality and environmental responsibility.
Available in a limited run of 200, these handcrafted treasures await discovery on the Hayesmade website.
