Forged 2

Du Verre Forged 2: hammer-marked knobs and pulls

Forged 2 gets its surface from a hand-forging process, an uneven, faceted texture on every face instead of the smooth cast finish most modern hardware wears. The line runs three round knob sizes, the Small at 5/8" (C-FC29), Medium at 7/8" (C-FC30), and Large at 1 1/4" (C-FC31), alongside a matching cube offered at three sizes, plus a Small and Large Square Pull at 5 1/4" and 14 1/4". The Large Square Knob, at 1 1/8" (C-FC35), sits between the cube and round options in overall footprint.

What the faceting actually does

Light hits a faceted surface unevenly, making even the Small Round Knob feel weightier than a same-size piece finished smooth would. That puts Forged 2 in a middle ground: texture without going full wrought-iron rustic. Strip away the surface treatment and there's still a clean geometric shape underneath, round, square, or cube, so the collection reads as modern hardware wearing a hand-worked finish rather than the reverse, a distinction worth noting for anyone comparing it against a true rustic line.

Round, square, or cube: mixing within one kitchen

The Small Cube Knob (C-FC07) and Small Square Knob (C-FC33) both sit at compact sizes near 5/8" to 1 1/8", close enough to swap without a size mismatch. Round and cube knobs keep a fairly traditional silhouette despite the hammered surface; the square version reads more architectural, with defined corners the round shape never had. All three shapes repeat across the identical size run, letting round knobs run across most doors while the square knob sets one accent cabinet apart, with no size hunt required.
