New Architectural Hardware by Doug Meyer

Modern Matter is thrilled to unveil its latest collection of artistic architectural hardware—a stunning collaboration with artist Doug Meyer in their inaugural Artist Series.

Known for his bold use of colour and imaginative designs, Meyer brings his eclectic sensibilities to hardware, merging iconic American design movements with his signature artistry.

Americana: A Modern Take on Classic Design

The Americana collection pays homage to traditional American design with a fresh, modern twist. Meyer reinterprets iconic forms such as Chippendale-style Batwing drawer pulls and Shaker-inspired knobs, infusing them with Colonial Williamsburg-inspired blues and greens. This collection balances historical elegance with vibrant, contemporary hues, providing pieces that are both sophisticated and lively.

Foundation: Architectural Strength with a Sophisticated Edge

Drawing inspiration from American architectural marvels, the Foundation collection is a tribute to the ingenuity of early skyscraper design. Featuring polished brass and nickel finishes, the pieces are grounded in strength and sophistication. Signature designs like the “Rebar” and “Dahlia” pulls and knobs pay homage to the architectural details of Louis Sullivan’s groundbreaking work, blending industrial influences with polished luxury.

Kiss and Hug: A Nod to Pop Art

In Kiss and Hug, Meyer channels the 1960s Pop Art movement with playful “X” and “O” shapes crafted from enamel and brass. These vibrant cabinet pulls add a whimsical pop of colour to any interior. As Meyer explains, “The idea behind the X and O knobs comes from my love of taking recognizable shapes and applying colour to them. I am of the school that colour can transform even the simplest object into something that has presence and meaning.”

Falling Water: Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright

The Falling Water collection captures the natural beauty of Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous architectural masterpiece. Crafted from burnished brass with unique ceramic glazes, this collection’s “Sherwood Forest” pieces evoke the lush, earthy green tones of nature, achieved through natural brass oxidation. The result is a collection that brings Wright’s organic aesthetic to interiors, offering a tactile, timeless appeal.

Doug Meyer’s work spans decades and disciplines, Meyer’s career is steeped in art, design, architecture, and fashion, all of which converge in his fine art and home-product creations. Known for his resinous bas-relief portraits and bold colour applications, Meyer’s pieces combine sophistication with playful energy. His distinctive aesthetic is already seen in fabric, rugs, wallpaper, and lighting, and now, for the first time, in artistic architectural hardware with Modern Matter.

This collaboration combines Meyer’s inventive approach with Modern Matter’s craftsmanship, resulting in a collection of artistic architectural hardware that is timeless and fresh. Each piece tells a story, transforming everyday hardware into works of art that add character and vibrancy to any space.
