BALDWIN HARDWARE: GRAPHITE NICKEL FINISH

An exploration into darker nickel tones, the Graphite Nickel Finish by Baldwin Hardware is an innovative, new-to-market finish meant to last a lifetime. Spanning Baldwin’s Estate Portfolio, Graphite Nickel takes historical cues from the antique nickels and pewters in the traditional space and expands to a broader mix of transitional and contemporary appeal. The new finish provides a unique fusion of warmth while picking up cool tones. 

Graphite Nickel joins Baldwin’s distinguished portfolio of Lifetime PVD finishes, offering dura-bility, corrosion resistance, and color retention superior to other finishes. The Graphite Nickel Finish–like all Baldwin’s PVD finishes–combines superior quality and convenient availability with no additional cost, MOQ, or extended lead time. Graphite Nickel will be included in Baldwin’s Quick Ship Program, which promises that products are shipped within five days of purchase.

Honorable Mention

Croft Architectural Hardware: Pocket Door Jamb Bolt

The Pocket Door Jamb Bolt is an easy and effective product designed to prevent a pocket door from opening. Stylish in design, we have brought to the market a premium quality solution for high-end projects available in over 25 of Croft’s signature finishes and patinas. Complementing the simplicity of a pocket door, we found that existing options either were limited in the finishes available or were not of the quality that a Croft product provides.
