Monte Timber Collection: Redefining Door Hardware

Joseph Dibenedetto and James Tsarouhas Blend Nature and Design

The Monte Timber Collection is inspired by the organic beauty of timber. Its grain, colour, and texture make each piece unique, providing a warm, inviting touch to any entrance. The collection includes the Timber Quad, Timber Club, and Timber Lanex, each with its own unique aesthetic appeal. The Timber Quad boasts sleek, square lines, while the Timber Club features soft contours with bold lines. The Timber Lanex, inspired by the Bauhaus era, blends the basic shapes of a cylinder and cuboid for a decorative style.

These designs are made from Victorian Ash or Tasmanian Oak, sourced from AFS (Australian Forestry Standard) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) sources. This sustainable approach ensures a reduced environmental footprint, aligning with the designers' commitment to eco-friendly practices.

The Monte Timber Collection is more than just aesthetically pleasing; it's also a sensory experience. The designers have brought the organic characteristics of timber inside the home, allowing people to connect with nature at every touch. This innovative approach to door hardware design has earned the collection numerous accolades, including the Golden A' Furniture Accessories, Hardware and Materials Design Award in 2017.

The creation of the Monte Timber Collection was a result of four years of ongoing research and development. The designers faced the challenge of developing a small range of timber levers that would suit any modern or contemporary interior setting. After numerous design iterations and prototypes, they arrived at a solution: warm and textured timber lever designs with clean lines, simple curvature, timeless silhouettes, and the ability to be purchased in over 100 finish combinations.

The Monte Timber Collection is a testament to the designers' commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. It's a perfect blend of minimalist design, innovation, and impeccable craftsmanship. The collection offers a fresh perspective on door hardware, demonstrating how design and nature can come together to create something truly unique.
