INOX has introduced a new Art Deco mechanical hardware collection that reinterprets early 20th-century geometric design through contemporary engineering. The capsule offers a coordinated suite of door levers, rosettes, pulls, entry handle sets, and stops available in PVD38 Aged Brass and 19G Graphite Black finishes.
INOX's Art Deco mechanical hardware collection moves beyond simple ornamentation by integrating precision-machined components, secure mounting systems, and compatibility with standard door preparations. In doing so, the brand ensures that visual moves beyond simple ornamentation by integrating precision-machined components, secure mounting systems, and compatibility with standard door preparations.
The two finish options directly address practical concerns about longevity, as the physical vapor deposition technology on the aged brass significantly increases resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental exposure. The graphite black finish offers a deep matte appearance that resists visible fingerprints, a benefit for any household tired of constantly polishing shiny brass or chrome.

Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Heritage Design Revival
- A renewed appetite for early 20th-century motifs combined with modern engineering creates room for products that blend historic aesthetics with contemporary performance expectations.
- Material-driven Durability
- PVD and matte surface technologies are enabling finishes that significantly extend lifecycle and reduce maintenance, shifting value toward long-lasting hardware choices.
- Precision-engineered Aesthetics
- Integration of precision machining and secure mounting systems allows decorative hardware to offer measurable functional advantages alongside visual refinement.
Where This Applies
- Residential Hardware Manufacturing
- Manufacturers can differentiate through coordinated collections that pair durable finishes with standardized fitments to meet both design-conscious consumers and retrofit requirements.
- Hospitality Design and Renovation
- Boutique hotels and heritage property restorations stand to benefit from hardware that preserves period character while delivering commercial-grade wear resistance.
- Architectural Specifying and Contracting
- Specifiers and contractors may prioritize hardware that balances aesthetic intent with installation compatibility and longevity for large-scale projects.
