Intune with the needs of their clients to source what they seek while providing a personalised service to assist the specification and installation processes to run as smoothly as possible.

Design Innovation

Joseph Giles is a leading creator of luxury architectural hardware. Since 1998, it has built a reputation as one of the finest designers and manufacturers of exquisite door and cabinet hardware. Their professionalism and attention to detail have secured them significant contracts in England and an impressive portfolio of residential and commercial projects around the world.

Joseph Giles Core Collections each feature a unique design theme. These draw inspiration from a fusion of influences, from avant-garde design such as the Bauhaus movement, classical architectural details, traditional craftsmanship and even car aerodynamics. The result is an enduring blend of style and elegance, with individual collections that look exquisite and feel right to the touch.

“Working alongside renowned designers such as Collett-Zarzycki and Kelly Hoppen, Joseph Giles’ design collaborations incorporate these artistic skills within its collections. This ongoing commitment to English design and manufacturing enables their skilled designers and craftspeople to create modern works of art we can all enjoy,” says Rees.

“This new Core Collection favours high-quality brass adorned with touches of natural marble, glass, or hand-stitched bridle leather, ensuring a timeless style through the finest materials,” Rees adds.

Technically speaking, Joseph Giles’ product design features include their innovative and unique rota-bearing sprung rose mechanism. Working with the internal door latch within the door, this spring mechanism prevents the lever from sagging and ensures precise movement for Joseph Giles’ lever door handles.  

Sustainability

Embracing timeless designs, Joseph Giles’ design ethos focuses on environmental consciousness by creating durable products that will last well into the future. “By using quality materials such as brass, glass and stone, its products will serve for their current use, then future re-use before eventual recycling of the materials at some distant time,” says Rees.

The Joseph Giles brand is committed to reducing waste, prioritising quality results and the ease of recycling its packaging and products. In addressing environmental considerations, Rees explains the Joseph Giles brand has taken significant steps to reduce waste, facilitate recycling and offset carbon emissions. “Their sustainability policy reflects a commitment to responsible practices, and they select partners with a clear dedication to minimising environmental impact,” says Rees.
