Wave

Sizing Du Verre Wave from knob to full-length pull

Du Verre Wave presses a rolling ripple into two knob sizes, C-WA01 at 1 1/2" and C-WA02 at 2 1/4", and four pull lengths, C-WA03 at 5 3/4", C-WA04 at 9", C-WA05 at 12", and C-WA06 at 17". The ripple travels the same direction across every piece, so several pieces installed near each other read as one continuous wave rather than a set of separately patterned parts. The surface varies just enough from casting to casting that no two knobs pick up light identically.

C-WA01 next to C-WA02

C-WA01's 1 1/2" size fits a drawer stile with limited clearance on either side; the larger C-WA02 would leave too little margin there instead. C-WA02 at 2 1/4" carries more visible ripple across its wider face, better proportioned for a full-height door. Both keep the identical wave direction, so pairing them on adjoining pieces preserves one continuous motion rather than two disconnected surfaces.

Choosing a pull length for the opening in front of you

C-WA03's 5 3/4" suits a compact drawer opening. C-WA06 at 17" reaches a broad pantry or appliance-panel door instead. C-WA04 and C-WA05, at 9" and 12", cover the ordinary cabinet widths in between. None of the four lengths carries surface variation beyond the shared ripple, so matching the opening at hand decides the choice more than any visual difference between sizes. Keep the ripple oriented one way across every pull in a run; install one piece upside down against its neighbors and the continuous read breaks apart.

Where to go next in Du Verre's textured lines

Stacked swaps Wave's soft ripple for hard parallel grooves at a comparable size range. Rio swaps the smooth ripple for a rougher, hand-worked texture across the face. Either alternative keeps a footprint close to Wave's own pull lengths, so swapping between them rarely means resizing an opening.
