Bronze Door Hardware by FORMANI

FORMANI Offers Satin Bronze Door Hardware for both Modern & Classic Designs

Why is bronze door hardware more popular than ever?

The Rise of Bronze in Modern Design

As upscale black door hardware continues to dominate interior trends, there’s been a parallel surge in the popularity of bronze finishes for doors, windows, and furniture. Designers and homeowners are increasingly drawn to bronze for its rich, earthy tones that offer both warmth and sophistication. The neutral yet distinctive quality of bronze makes it an essential addition to contemporary and classic interiors alike.

Why FORMANI’s Bronze Door Hardware Finish Stands Out

In the evolving world of architectural hardware, FORMANI has mastered the art of bronze finishes, setting a new benchmark for quality, durability, and aesthetics. Unlike traditional bronze, which can darken or patina over time, FORMANI’s satin bronze finish is engineered for long-lasting beauty and resilience.

1. Superior Powder-Coated Finish

FORMANI’s exclusive satin bronze finish is achieved through an advanced powder coating process, ensuring exceptional durability. This technique blends fine stainless steel particles within the bronze coating, creating a subtle shimmer while maintaining a rich, matte look. The result is a scratch-resistant, fingerprint-reducing surface that retains its pristine appearance over time.

2. Versatility Across Interior Styles

One of the defining advantages of FORMANI’s satin bronze is its ability to complement diverse design aesthetics. Whether used in:

  • Modern and minimalist spaces, where its deep, matte tone adds warmth without overpowering the decor.
  • Industrial interiors, where bronze balances the raw edginess of exposed materials.
  • Classic and traditional settings, where its soft, muted finish enhances timeless elegance.

Thanks to its ability to integrate seamlessly with both warm and cool color palettes, FORMANI’s bronze hardware works beautifully in any setting, ensuring a cohesive and sophisticated look.

FORMANI Collections Available in Bronze Finish

To meet the growing demand for bronze architectural hardware, FORMANI has expanded its range of door handles, furniture knobs, pull handles, window handles, hinges, and front door accessories in this exquisite finish. This expansion allows designers and homeowners to create harmonized spaces where every detail—from entry doors to furniture—reflects a consistent, high-end aesthetic.

  • ONE by Piet Boon: This collection reflects a harmonious fusion of timeless aesthetics and functional design. The matte bronze finish adds a new dimension of depth and refinement to the minimalist yet luxurious allure of the ONE collection.
  • TENSE by Bertram Beerbaum: The Tense collection embraces a daring and contemporary design concept. The matte bronze finish introduces an intriguing texture and warmth to the clean lines and distinct forms of this collection, creating a captivating visual balance.
  • ECLIPSE by David Rockwell: The ECLIPSE collection is synonymous with sophistication and versatility. The matte bronze finish amplifies the organic shapes and refined finesse of the ECLIPSE pieces, evoking a sense of timeless modernity.
  • BOBBY by Eric Kuster: The BOBBY collection exudes lavish grandeur and bold extravagance. The addition of the matte bronze finish imparts a distinguished sheen to the powerful and opulent design elements of the BOBBY pieces, resulting in a harmonious fusion of luxury and refinement.​​​​​​​
  • RIVIO by Product Design Consultant Gensler: The Rivio collection embodies modern simplicity and functional beauty. The matte bronze finish emphasizes the clean lines and timeless simplicity of the Rivio pieces, creating an atmosphere of contemporary elegance that seamlessly aligns with various interior styles.​​​​​​​
    ​​​​​​​
  • BASICS by FORMANI: The timeless “Basics” collection encapsulates the essence of versatility and effortlessly adapts to diverse interior styles. With the matte bronze finish, these foundational pieces receive a touch of refinement and a contemporary flair, making them an indispensable addition to both modern and classic designs, catering to every budget.

Why Choose FORMANI’s Bronze Door Hardware?

  • Durable, high-quality powder-coated finish for long-term performance.
  • Resistant to fingerprints, scratches, and wear, ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • Versatile for modern, industrial, and classic interiors.
  • Seamless integration with a variety of door hardware collections.

As the demand for sophisticated, timeless finishes grows, FORMANI’s satin bronze door hardware offers the perfect blend of elegance and durability. Whether upgrading a luxury hotel, a high-end residence, or a modern office, FORMANI provides the ideal solution for those seeking the best in design, function, and craftsmanship.

FORMANI Creates a Powerful Duo: Hotel Hardware + Electronic Locks

Why FORMANI Hotel Hardware is the Perfect Fit for Hospitality Projects

The Importance of Hotel Hardware

In the hospitality industry, door hardware plays a crucial role in both functionality and guest experience. Hotel door locks—also known as hospitality locks—are specifically designed to enhance security and convenience, integrating advanced technology such as electronic access, keycards, and RFID systems. However, while security is paramount, the design and quality of door handles also shape the overall ambiance and guest impression.

Why Standard Hotel Door Handles Fall Short

Most hotels receive standard door handles from lock manufacturers, meeting functionality requirements but often lacking in aesthetics. These generic handles may not align with a hotel’s interior design, creating a disconnect between the entryway, guest rooms, and other interior elements. Additionally, inconsistencies in hardware finishes between main doors and secondary fixtures, such as bathroom fittings, can disrupt the overall design harmony.

FORMANI offers a seamless solution to this issue, combining high-end design, functionality, and compatibility with electronic hotel lock systems.

The FORMANI Advantage for Hospitality Projects

1. Seamless Integration with Electronic Lock Systems

FORMANI’s architectural hardware is fully compatible with leading electronic hotel lock systems, including VingCard, Salto, and Messerschmidt. This ensures that hotels can upgrade their aesthetic appeal while maintaining the integrity and security of their existing key card access control systems.

2. Easy Adaptation & Hassle-Free Upgrades

Whether a hotel is transitioning from traditional keys to electronic access or upgrading existing locks, FORMANI hotel hardware seamlessly integrates with various lock systems. This adaptability allows hotels to retain their security infrastructure while enhancing design consistency across all guest rooms and public spaces.

3. Luxury Customization & Design Flexibility

FORMANI offers an extensive range of architectural door hardware, allowing hoteliers to customize their door handles to complement their brand’s aesthetic. The combination of premium finishes, timeless designs, and high-end craftsmanship ensures that each hotel can curate a unique and memorable guest experience.

4. Superior Security & Performance

Pairing FORMANI’s robust door handles, locksets, and knobs with electronic key card systems enhances security. Electronic locks provide an added layer of protection against unauthorized access, while FORMANI hardware meets the highest security standards, contributing to the reliability of the hotel’s access control system.

5. Durability & Low Maintenance

Hotels experience high-traffic use, making durability essential for all fixtures, including door hardware. FORMANI designs its products using premium materials like stainless steel, ensuring resistance to corrosion, wear, and scratches. This reduces maintenance costs and eliminates frequent replacements, offering long-term value for hotel owners.

Which FORMANI Collections Are Best for Hotels?

FORMANI has successfully integrated several design collections into hospitality projects, all of which have been approved by leading electronic lock manufacturers:  Link to products

Bathroom Design Trends This Year

The Future of Bathroom Design: 2025 Trends You Need to Know

Are you considering a bathroom remodel this year? It’s not too late to take into consideration some top trends that will transform your new bathroom.

As we step into 2025, bathroom design trends are evolving beyond aesthetics to embrace functionality, wellness, and cutting-edge technology. This year’s trends focus on creating a spa-like sanctuary at home, blending timeless elegance with modern convenience. Here’s what’s making waves in bathroom design for 2025:

1. Free-Standing Bathtubs: The Ultimate Luxury

Free-standing bathtubs continue to be a statement piece in modern bathrooms. Whether sculptural marble stone, solid surface, UHS, or warm concrete finishes, these tubs elevate relaxation and become the focal point of any space. Deep soaking models, inspired by Japanese soaking tubs, are particularly popular, offering a therapeutic retreat within the home.

2. Rain Showerheads: A Spa-Like Experience

Rain showerheads are redefining the shower experience with their soothing, even water distribution. The latest models feature customizable pressure settings, LED temperature indicators, and even aromatherapy-infused water streams, ensuring that your daily shower is an indulgent escape. With the option of putting your rain showerhead on the wall, or on the ceiling, so you can pair it with a standard shower head.

3. PVD Tapware: Durable and Stylish

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) tapware is becoming the go-to choice for designers and homeowners alike. Not only does it offer a wide array of stunning finishes—satin stainless, brushed gold, and gunmetal being favorites—but it’s also highly resistant to corrosion, tarnishing, and scratches, making it a smart investment for long-lasting beauty.  The finishes are made to last overtime, and are particurally good to install either in outdoor showers, or homes by the beach.

4. Smart Toilets: The Future of Hygiene

Technology is revolutionizing the bathroom, and smart toilets are leading the way. Features like self-cleaning functions, bidet systems, heated seats, and even automatic flushing ensure the highest level of hygiene and comfort. Some advanced models also include voice control and app connectivity for personalized settings. Indulge in a smart toilet for your primary bathroom and enjoy all the features.

5. Heated Towel Warmers: Everyday Indulgence

Nothing enhances a bathroom experience like stepping out of a bath or shower into a warm, cozy towel. Heated towel warmers are becoming a staple in modern bathrooms, offering both comfort and energy-efficient heating solutions. Newer models come with programmable settings, ensuring your towels are always ready when you need them.  Also becoming popular are heated robe warmers, which are placed vertically, so you can have a cozy bath robe after your shower.

6. Home Saunas: Wellness at Home

With the growing focus on health and relaxation, home saunas are gaining traction. Compact infrared and traditional steam saunas are being integrated into home bathrooms, offering stress relief, muscle relaxation, and detoxification benefits without requiring a trip to the spa.  Even if you are not doing a full remodel of your bathroom, there are sauna and steam room options for even the smallest space or outdoor setting.

7. Touchless Faucets: Hygiene and Sustainability

Touchless technology is making its way into residential bathrooms, providing both convenience and improved hygiene. Motion-sensor faucets help reduce water waste while minimizing contact with surfaces, making them an excellent choice for eco-conscious and germ-conscious homeowners alike.

WestEdge Design Fair: FORMANI on Display

FORMANI Debuts at WestEdge, Showcasing RIVIO CA Lever and Launching Partnership with Specialty Hardware + Plumbing

As one of the most popular design trade shows in Los Angeles, WestEdge Design Fair brings together artists, designers, architects and collaborators in the industry. The three-day event offers the best in modern design, with product displays, panels and networking to discover what is new and trending.

Taking place in the fall of 2024, WestEdge was held at the iconic Santa Monica Barker Hangar. As an exhibitor for FORMANI, we were proud to present door hardware by top designers:

  • Piet Boon: Minimalist designs – ONE, TWO, INC, ARC and NOUR collections
  • Gensler Product Design Consultant – RIVIO
  • David Rockwell: Modern and classic – ECLIPSE
  • Bertran Beerbaum: Contemporary designs – TENSE

Dutch door hardware brand FORMANI made an impressive debut at the West Edge Design Fair in Santa Monica, a three-day event featuring the best in modern design. The event also celebrated the launch of an exciting new partnership with Specialty Hardware + Plumbing, the exclusive distributor of FORMANI products in Southern California.

“FORMANI is very proud to have Jason and his team bring their knowledge and enthusiasm to the presentation of our luxury hardware collections., said FORMANI’S Managing Director, Pim Aarts.  “We value their long experience with Dutch designers and their deep involvement in the west coast modern design community”.

FORMANI on display at WestEdge Design Fair 2024

The West Edge Design Fair, a premier gathering of designers, architects, and developers, provided the perfect platform for FORMANI to unveil its RIVIO CA lever from product design consultant, Gensler. The lever also showcased the new PVD light bronze finish. The RIVIO collection epitomizes FORMANI’S commitment to design innovation, functionality, and sustainability, offering a comprehensive Total Project solution that redefines architectural hardware.

“Transition” served as the guiding principle for the RIVIO collection, shaping every component from lever handles to knobs, pulls, and even window trim, in keeping with FORMANI’S focus on Total Project Solutions in their collections.

Visitors to the RIVIO display were especially drawn to the RIVIO California lever, which, unlike almost any lever that tries to meet the state’s building code requirement for a return, is actually a stunner on its own terms. It combines ergonomic precision with a dynamic sculptural form. The extended curved design provides ample room for the hand, creating an effortless and elegant user experience..

RIVIO California Lever: A Technical Masterpiece

Meticulously fabricated using advanced techniques such as bending, carving, milling, and superior finishing, the RIVIO lever is designed to excel in aesthetics, ergonomics, and durability while maintaining the highest safety standards.

  • Sustainability: Crafted from solid stainless steel with 70% recycled content.
  • Durability: Available in four premium finishes, including satin stainless steel, PVD satin black, satin gold, and powder-coated bronze.
  • Compliance: Meets California’s building code for lever return to within 1/2″ of the door surface.
  • Versatility: Supports both commercial and residential projects, with options including Grade 1 mortise locks, multipoint locks, and tubular locks.

Experience FORMANI on display in Los Angeles

FORMANI’s products, including the RIVIO collection, are now on display at Specialty Hardware + Plumbing’s showroom in Beverly Hills, offering a comprehensive selection of the brand’s innovative designs and finishes.

FORMANI’S debut at West Edge underscores its dedication to bringing Dutch craftsmanship and design excellence to the North American market. With the RIVIO collection, FORMANI offers architects and designers an unparalleled solution that seamlessly blends form, function, and compliance.

  • Stone and wood are natural materials that are prone to variations in color, pattern and density that add to the beauty and charm of the material. 
  • Warranties do not cover color differences between samples and delivered products of natural stone, wood and concrete. 

Cleaning & Maintenance of your COCOON Bath Products:

COCOON faucets are made with anti-fingerprint technology, but they can still leave watermarks.  Never use aggressive detergents, bleach, scouring powder, steel wool or other harsh abrasives.  Wiping with a damp cloth and gentle cleaning agent is recommended. Any deposits of shampoo, liquid soap or body lotions should be rinsed away with water immediately. 

Care & Maintenance for COCOON Solid Surface Tubs & Basins:

Watch our video on how to clean solid surface material and buff out any scratches.

Care & Maintenance for COCOON Concrete Tubs & Basins:

COCOON recommends similar cleaning techniques used with their stainless and PVD taps.  Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser for their lightweight concrete tubs and basins. Do not use scouring pads, as it can scratch the product and break down the sealer. Avoid exposure to high levels of PH, such as bleach and nail polish remover.  Do no leave wet products on the concrete for long periods of time. Direct sunlight can slowly discolor the concrete material over a long period of time. If a scratch occurs, COCOON can provide a refresh kit with simple instructions to fix any damage.
