From Julie:
Household hardware is like jewelry for the home; this hand-cast brass door pull from the Vervloet Contemporary Collection at New York-based E.R. Butler is an heirloom piece. Expensive? Yes. But worth it if you’re staying put for a while. And if not, unscrew it and take it with you.

From Sarah:
Combine Japanese aestheticism, Danish sensibility, and a touch of Anglo and you see where Tora Urup is coming from. The Copenhagen-based designer studied ceramics and glass in Denmark, Japan, and the UK, and she produces sublime tableware and other items for the home. This past summer, I was introduced to her work by UK architect John Glew; the pair collaborated on custom porcelain door handles, below. Go to Tora Urup.
Tora’s glassware:
Glass bowls, recently on display at the Danish Museum of Art & Design (Brugkulturen).
