Once upon a time, mixing gold and silver jewelry was considered a fashion faux pas. Interior design has long had a similar rule: Whether it’s brass, chrome, nickel, or blackened steel, you pick one finish and stick with it. Thankfully, both worlds are evolving.

The Australian architectural hardware brand’s first mixed metals collection was developed in collaboration with Melbourne-based SMAC Studio, pairing brushed brass with polished nickel across cabinet pulls, knobs, and levers.

While the knobs and levers borrow the boldness of statement jewelry, the elongated pulls reference finer pieces, using subtle detailing where the two finishes meet to create the collection’s defining gesture.

Balancing brushed brass and polished nickel required restraint as much as contrast. Rather than allowing one finish...
