Dauby CAST 50F 27985 Bronze door handle on round plate
CAST 50F 27985 is a bronze handle on a plate.
The CAST collection finds its origin in a fascination with cast tools — functional objects without embellishment, designed for use, and therefore often surprisingly elegant.
For Nicholas, it was a natural source of inspiration. In the forms of old pliers, keys and handles, he recognised a direct logic he wished to translate into contemporary hardware.
CAST demonstrates how form and function can coexist in balance, without falling into clichés.
No retro aesthetic, but an abstract interpretation of the logic behind tools. Every detail has been consciously considered: the curves, the ratio between fixed and moving parts, the weight that gives the hand a sense of calm.
Cast in sand and finished by hand, the process perfectly mirrors its source of inspiration.
Like tools, the object evolves with use — it lives, ages beautifully and belongs in the hand.
CAST is a quiet homage to the everyday object: not a form that shouts, but one that feels right.
The Pure line from Dauby was born of simple, austere models that have their origin in the Bauhaus. It is a creature of the beginning of the Avant – Garde, witness of a period when the term design still had to begin its upward progress.
In the PURE collection of door and furniture fittings they take on a second life. Their clean lines are matched to natural materials such as White Bronze and an alloy. Each product is carefully cast in sand moulds, a traditional European method dating from the time of Tartessians, +/- 3000 years befor Christ. The first traders in cast metals such as bronze, silver and copper reached us from the city of Tartessos is south – eastern Spain. The original sand cast method is still employed to make every item in the PURE collection. This endows the PURE line with an authentic and above all timeless character that distances it from everyday mass products. Every item is made by a craftsman with a love of his trade and acquires a natural, evermore beautiful patina with time. The older it is, the more valuable the product will look.
