Custom Brass Hardware and Designer Collaborations
When high-fashion aesthetics meet interior engineering. We partnered with JJ Valaya to develop specific wardrobe pulls, hanger rods, and door handles that blend regal design with functional precision.
A glimpse into the JJ Valaya store, where my custom hardware is an integral part of the luxury experience. This video shows how the bespoke geometric handles on the wardrobes contribute to the store's sophisticated and immersive atmosphere.
The custom wardrobe handles are set against cream-colored panels, creating a striking contrast. Placed beside one of the designer's exquisite garments, the hardware becomes part of the overall narrative of luxury and meticulous design.
Here, the geometric handles are mounted on high-gloss white wardrobes. This pairing showcases the versatility of the design, proving it can complement both dark, moody interiors and bright, airy spaces with equal elegance.
Set against glossy black wardrobes, the brass handles create a dramatic, high-contrast look. The reflection in the doors adds depth, making the hardware a captivating focal point within the designer's opulent retail space.
The warm glow of the brass handles is reflected in the glass and polished surfaces of the JJ Valaya store. This view shows how the hardware interacts with its environment, contributing to the rich, layered aesthetic of the interior.

Even the smallest details were considered in the JJ Valaya collaboration. This custom brass coat hook, with its sturdy and elegant design, ensures that every element in the store, no matter how functional, adheres to the same standard of luxury.
For the store's clothing displays, I crafted these custom wardrobe hanger rods. The antique brass finish and robust construction provide a sophisticated and durable framework to showcase the designer's collections.

About A Signature Collaboration: Brassage x JJ Valaya
The geometric wardrobe handles in this collection were designed to maintain their visual impact against high-gloss surfaces. We achieved this by using heavy-density solid brass, which offers enough weight to provide smooth, tactile resistance, ensuring the hardware feels grounded rather than hollow when pulled.
When designing for a space as visually layered as a JJ Valaya store, hardware cannot simply function as an accessory. It acts as a structural element. The project required translating complex patterns into solid brass forms that withstand high-frequency use while retaining their finish.
We utilized CNC milling to achieve the precise geometric angles seen on the wardrobe pulls. For the finishes, we focused on achieving a deep, antique tone that contrasts with high-gloss panels. The hanger rods were engineered with reinforced joints to support the weight of heavy couture garments, ensuring they do not sag or flex over time.
Whether you are designing a retail space or a private residence, this approach to hardware—where the material composition directly supports the architectural intent—is the standard we apply to all our projects. From the weight of the metal to the choice of finish, every piece is built to be a permanent fixture in your home.
