Description
The Rene Range by Vervloet brings together the hand-forged Rene door lever, dummy door knob, knob / hook and thumb turn, slim, sculptural forms inspired by the designer's tobacco pipe.
Designed by Jean-François D'Or for Vervloet. Whimsical and sculptural, a wink to surrealist artist Magritte, the line reflects D'Or's utilitarian vision with a discrete sense of poetry and subtle lines reminiscent of 1920s design.
Since 1905, Vervloet has been creating luxurious, high-end hardware. One of Europe's finest ateliers of decorative hardware, creating objects of unparalleled beauty with quality craftsmanship. Made in Belgium.
