Since 1946, Baldwin Hardware has delivered modern luxury to discriminating homeowners, architects and designers through superior design, craftsmanship and functionality. Bridging several design styles popularized in the late twentieth century, contemporary design focuses on lines, shapes, and forms. Edges are soft and rounded, surfaces are simple, sleek, and unadorned. Contemporary design changes with time, but always has a current feel that emphasizes lines—vertical, horizontal, curved or straight. Less is more, spotlighting color, geometric shapes, and architectural features. The crisp, clean appearance of the Satin Nickel finish adds to the overall look of the product and brings a modern feel.
