Aquila Art Glass Mardi Gras Collection

Aquila Art Glass Mardi Gras Collection cabinet hardware

The Aquila Art Glass Mardi Gras Collection is the brand's carnival-bright confetti family, the line built around multi-color confetti-pattern hand-fused glass. Mardi Gras pulls feature small chips and shards of contrasting color glass dropped into a base color. The layered glass is fired together so the finished piece reads as a celebration of layered color. Aquila is a Portland, Oregon studio that hand-fuses every piece in small batches; natural variation between pieces is expected rather than a defect.

What identifies the Mardi Gras line

The confetti-color pattern is the defining cue. Where Solids carries a single uniform color and the broader Aquila catalog covers swirl, bubble, and dichroic patterns, Mardi Gras commits specifically to multi-color confetti. The chip arrangement varies between individual knobs even within the same color family, so each piece is technically unique. The base-color foundation gives the line its overall reading (cobalt-base Mardi Gras reads bluer overall; amber-base reads warmer) while the confetti chips carry the celebratory visual energy. Granite frit and metallic powders worked into the base layers add textural variation.

Where Mardi Gras fits

The line works on color-forward kitchens reaching for explicit visual energy, on accent installs where a few statement knobs anchor an island or focal cabinet, on bath vanities where the multi-color pattern picks up a tile or accent paint elsewhere in the room, on butler's pantries and wine cellars leaning eclectic, and on glass-front display cabinets where the back-lighting picks up the confetti color. Painted slab cabinetry in deep neutral tones (charcoal, deep navy, warm cream) gives the line its strongest backdrop. Order all knobs for a project from a single batch when possible to keep the color reading consistent.
