The Story

Shayne Fox Hardware creates solid cast bronze handles and knobs defined by simple forms, clean lines and softly tumbled surfaces. The bronze’s earthy character brings depth and texture to both modern and transitional spaces.

Our debut collection, GEO, reimagines the everyday handle and knob through organic shapes and subtle Art Deco influences. PYRA, NIKA, SKEW, TEFT and SPUL continue that exploration, drawing inspiration from ancient architecture, giant crystal caves and the casting process itself. Across the collections, we explore how a solid, weighty material can suggest fluidity and movement.

Each piece is made using traditional sand casting methods. Molten bronze is poured by hand into sand moulds, then cooled and hand finished. While we strive for consistency in form, we welcome the subtle variations in surface and character that make every casting unique.

These are objects made to be held, used and lived with. Little gems, designed to endure.

 

 

I’ve spent decades in Toronto’s film industry as a four-time Emmy-nominated, award-winning Production Designer. Creating worlds for film and television has always involved solving design problems, exploring materials and making things from scratch.

Shayne Fox Hardware began while I was renovating my own kitchen. I couldn’t find the hardware I wanted: solid pieces with clean lines, a timeless quality and a little rustic character. So I set out to make them.

Learning to cast bronze brought its own challenges, but I was drawn to the process, the weight of the material and the subtle differences that emerge in each piece. What began as a solution for my own home became a collection to share with others.

I’ve always believed that the things we live with every day should be useful, feel good in our hands and bring a little beauty into our lives.
