The Oasis Collection | 2020-2021

Designers: Robert A.M. Stern Interiors, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP.,
New York, New York, USA
Manufacturer: Rocky Mountain Hardware, Hailey, Idaho, USA

The Oasis Collection—a collaboration with Rocky Mountain Hardware—features sculptural pulls, locks, and levers for doors, as well as sculptural pulls and knobs for kitchen cabinetry. Each piece in Oasis, fashioned from either white or silicon bronze, is consistent yet individual—shaped, molded, cast, and finished by hand, with twelve different patinas that bring warmth and brilliance to the hardware.

Products in the collection—Flora, Kennet, Raleigh, Madeline, and Ophelia—include a mix of angled facets, concave backplates, and curvilinear silhouettes that softly reflect light, but also recall the fantasy of invention characteristic of the Art Nouveau and the dexterity of the best arts-and-crafts traditions.
Abstract organic forms, combined with the subtle, indelible texture that results from the sand-casting process, lend Oasis a sensuous tactility and a timelessness suitable for both traditional and contemporary applications. The collection is versatile and delicate, but most importantly, it is an unexpected offering from the unique partnership that brought it to life.
