New Opportunities for Home Renovators with Traditional/Modern Design Partnerships

(PRWEB) May 14, 2008 -- Architectural Classics is bringing new opportunities and immense convenience to home renovators, undertaking a new partnership with up-and-coming young designer Daniela Seminara of Pasini Metals. The union ushers in a new era for Architectural Classics.

They have long been known on the web for their immense range of period style hardware and impeccable customer service, and are now breaking into the modern door hardware market with a union with Pasini Metals Production.

Niall McDonagh, the company's managing director, says of the transformation, "We wanted to be able to serve customers looking for modern, innovative, high-quality products, as well as period renovators.

While we have a huge range of traditional hardware, we had a very limited market for those products. Now home renovators from all schools of design can enjoy our great service."

Pass / Move into Design's Plus Line of products features handles designed as 'value-adders'. They are intended for use as both door openers and communication devices, for leaving messages, flowers, hanging bags or keys, etc.

The line was conceived by Daniela Seminara, an award-winning Italian designer whose toys created for visually-impaired children found her recognition on the world design stage. Her focus is on expanding the function of items, and designing a form to suit that function.

The Plus line of door handles epitomizes this ideal.

It is also one of the few consumer products that can be infinitely mixed and matched. Every finish, size and shape of backplate can be matched with any handle design, in any finish. The line innovates further in its development of new materials: Corian and Wengé Wood are used alongside traditional brass door furniture.

McDonagh touts the recently added Plus Line as "?perfectly compatible with our company. It is a contemporary classic, but an architectural classic nonetheless. I'm excited that such a unique, well thought-out line will be joining our catalogue, and more home renovators can enjoy its design perfection."

Products from the Pass/Move into Design range will be available at architecturalclassics.com/pass (http://www.architecturalclassics.com/pass) starting from the 14th of May.
