Starting with their inaugural creation in 1988, Herzog & de Meuron's narrative has embraced objects, leading to the launch of H&dM Objects as a curated, accessible collection.

In partnership with Danese Milano, Knook celebrates the art of woodturning. This admiration is evident in the architectural details of both historical and modern buildings, leading to a collection of turned geometric shapes. Among these, the knook knob and hook, crafted in ceramic for Danese Milano, stand out. This choice of material not only provides a unique tactile experience but also ensures suitability for wet areas. The design, inspired by turned forms, showcases a curved silhouette that complements ceramic's processing and characteristics.
