OUR STORY

Can you make these earrings into hardware?

That unexpected question sparked our journey from a jewelry atelier to a premium home fashion brand. With a jeweler’s eye for detail and an artisan’s dedication to craft, we collaborate with visionary designers and brands to create hardware that feels like jewelry for the home.

At Modern Matter, we set out to redefine hardware—transforming everyday fixtures into luxurious design moments. Inspired by art, architecture, and the natural world, our pieces are a seamless blend of beauty and functionality.

Meticulously handcrafted from solid brass and adorned with semi-precious and natural gemstones, our collections celebrate personalization and refined glamour, turning ordinary spaces into extraordinary design statements.

OUR HARDWARE

Driven by innovation—in both design and the use of luxury materials—we create solid brass hardware that celebrates craftsmanship and ingenuity. With a curated range of hand-applied finishes, semi-precious gemstones, and premium materials, we offer an unparalleled level of customization for a truly bespoke look.

Our collections, now extending beyond cabinet hardware and accessories to wallmounted bathroom fittings, imbue our distinctive approach to design and meticulous attention to detail. From the original sketches created in our studio to the jewelrymaking techniques employed by skilled artisans, each piece is carefully assembled and packaged in our Virginia studio, embodying our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship at every stage.

DESIGN COLLABORATORS

Dedicated to the understated glamour and high quality, we partner with leading interior designers to create artisan-inspired hardware that is as elegant as it is durable.
