The Joseph Giles experience
DESIGN & DISCOVERY
We begin the project process with a consultation to capture your requirements and to scope out the initial design concepts, potential finishes, timeframes and budgets.
Technical Scheduling
Our team of ironmongery experts carry out detailed analysis of floor plans and design documentation to pull together a ironmongery schedule. This may involve a workshop meeting, site surveys and sharing compatibility advice between the joinery details and hardware.
Production
With the finalised hardware schedule approved and, if relevant, bespoke product designs signed off and delivery locations and timings agreed, your order will be placed so production can begin.
Aftercare
During the delivery of your project, our team will be on hand to support with any questions and challenges that may arise. Our experienced joiners are also able to attend site to provide advice.

Our collections & collaborations
Michaelis Boyd
The forward-thinking approach to design exhibited by Michaelis Boyd was particularly well suited to Joseph Giles’ own devotion to innovation.Studio Indigo
Creating a collection of organic hardware seen through a contemporary perspective.Collet Design Associates
A bold artistic vision of luxury interior hardware made of fine Italian marble and glass.Kelly Hoppen
Kelly's microscopic attention to detail paved the way for an outstanding range of hardware.Anca Rotaru
We are thrilled to partner with internationally recognised interior designer Anca Rotaru on a new collection.Cube & Leather
Carefully handstitched by leather craftsmen, the introduction of a bridle leather grip is a slightly softer iteration of the original Cube lever handle.Harlyn
Inspired by the individual and the soft undulating shapes that natural process produces on driftwood, stones and sand. Harlyn Bay is one of the many coves that can be found in beautiful county of Cornwall, England.Sefton
Our Sefton cabinet handle was inspired by the intricate detail on ceiling handles found in the finest cars, which are often made using leather.Sara
The main part of this fastener reminds us of a carefully sculpted piece of pottery, so we called it Sara, after the shallow Japanese dish or plate.Lambert
Our Lambert range takes its inspiration from renowned banked corner at the famous Brooklands motor racing circuit near Weybridge, Surrey. This exceptionally crafted piece is a testament to the interpretational skills of our designers, who have depicted features of the track throughout the design, even down to the gentle contours on the stem of the handle.Drayton
Inspired by the work of Raymond Loewy, we have made use of bold lines and geometric details, in order to provide our clients with an enduring Art Deco inspired piece, reminiscent of the 1930s Manhattan skyline.Hamilton
Hamilton was inspired by the details of classical columns from the Corinthian and Ionic order, such as those fronting the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, London.Charters
This piece was originally created as a bespoke design for a luxury development called Charters: with the client's permission, we introduced this design to our standard product range and named it after the project.Cube
While there have been many imitations of the Cube, we are proud to say that it is truly ours and is ingrained into our history. Its success undoubtedly had a part in shaping the direction of the business, and today we have an unrivaled collection of beautiful hardware and remain focused on innovation and design excellence.Durham
Named after the English city that was at the heart of brass foundry production during the 1800’s. The simple and ergonomic shape often used in the Victorian era is reflected in this classic, elegant design.Hanworth
Hanworth is inspired by the door handles found on classic British cars of the 1960s and 70s.Holmes
The Holmes design demonstrates a perfect blend of form and function; the overall look is delicately balanced whilst the functionality is reassuring and solid.Alexander
The style of cutlery that inspired us was the Grecian pattern, with its 'cut-off' corner style and single bevelled edge, first designed and made in Sheffield in 1929.Berenice
With a nod towards the iconic Georgian beehive design, the Berenice door knob is a tactile piece, bringing subtle flourishes of texture to any scheme through its repeated ribbing on the sides and rose.Norman
Stripped of unnecessary ornament, the Norman door knob follows the Bauhaus principles of form and function.Adelphi
An excellent example of neoclassical design in London is the Adelphi Buildings in Westminster, which inspired some of the architectural details throughout the Adephi collection.Henley
With its three signature lines, and rounded form, Henley brings traditional Victorian design to the forefront of modernity.Granville
Based on a traditional skep - a straw or wicker beehive - the geometric ribbing creates a timeless finishing touch. Joseph Giles has achieved this traditional shape with modern manufacturing methods in order to provide a greater consistency to its look and texture.Portia
Portia is designed to look like a sparkling piece of jewellery, adding glamour and elegance to an interior.Falmouth
Recessed ring pull handles were originally designed for use on furniture on ships, but their space-saving design and distinctive aesthetic are a popular choice for interiors on land, too.Volume
Volume is inspired by the tactile shape and appearance of the modern music amp, which became widespread in the 1970s.Doyle
A design which draws inspiration from the Art Deco period, the clean lines and solid proportions of the Doyle handle mirror those of the Rockefeller Centre in New York.Dowson
The epitome of minimalist architecture with its clean lines and honest form, Dowson blends perfectly with its surroundings and unobtrusively plays its role as a humble but noble door handle.Clara
Many design motifs from the Georgian era have endured, such as the reeded motif we used for the Clara cabinet pull, which are hand-made from glass.Thomson
The Thomson collection is furniture jewellery, and the epitome of Art Deco design.Archibald
It combines form and function harmoniously in its design, with a smooth chamfered edge for the most comfortable user experience.Fitzherbert
Fitzherbert was inspired by The Royal Pavilion in Brighton, with its extravagant and eclectic mix of architecture and decoration.Theodore
We liked the round detail on the end of the handle so much that it inspired us to design a range of door hardware with the same accent, hence the Theodore collection.Montgomery
We sought to keep the lines as clean and simple as possible, which led on to the idea of a clasped stem, thus keeping everything about the handle cylindrical. The choice of tactile diamond knurl and linear knurl textures make this a statement collection.Darton
In shape and form, the Darton lever handle is not dissimilar to the original Knud Holscher L handle, which we have always admired.Buxton
Our Buxton cup handle embodies all the elegance of the original Georgian design, with a subtly raised border detail mirroring the indented motif which can be seen everywhere in the architecture of that period.Radi
Our solid brass shelf supports takes bespoke furniture to another level, ensuring the smallest details are not overlooked.Thurloe
The idea of taking a relatively simple bar style cabinet handle design and adding a layer of delicate craftmanship appealed to us. After experimenting with different metal to leather proportions, we think we succeeded with this design.Bartlett
Circles have played an important part in architecture across many different buildings, and in many different forms. Whether it be a domed roof, circular window, ceiling rose, or an arched doorway, the list goes on.Tewkesbury
Our almond-shaped Tewkesbury doorknobs draw their inspiration from the pointed Gothic arches of the windows of Tewkesbury Cathedral.Bennett
The ball joint of the Bennett handle is like a tree knot, whilst the grip branches out to provide an organice and comfortable form for the hand.Old Vic
These solid brass garment hooks are made to the traditional tear drop pattern, which dates back to the 19th century.Cut
Inspired by the architecture of Mies van der Rohe, the Cut collection is the epitome of minimalism.Sloane
This collection, with sleek angular forms and precise detailing, is the perfect accent to any cabinet, and was inspired by London's prestigious Sloane Square.Penrose
Penrose is the simplest form of a pull, stripping detail back to a bare minimum and allowing the quality and thickness of the brass material and engineered surfaces to do the talking.Contour
With the shared principle of striving for perfection through design, we collaborated with 1508 to develop this beautiful new collection. Taking inspiration from Michelangelo's works, the handle itself resembles the tool used to create intricate contours on stone and marble. The resulting form is carried across all the pieces in this collection, making for a truly simple and ergonomic design across the cabinet pulls and T-bar.Fonteyn
As beautiful as the original handle was, the size did not suit many of the modern-day door proportions. We have recreated this timeless masterpiece, being careful to stay true to the original form whilst carefully increasing the proportions. The delicate form and perfect balance are synonymous with that of a ballerina, hence this design is fittingly named after Margot Fonteyn.Edwin
The Edwin range is inspired by the heavy, block like shapes and stark beauty of the Brutalist architecture movement of the 1950s-70s.Davis
Driven by the concept that less can be more, the style of the Davis collection, with its classic T-bar design, was designed to blend harmoniously into contemporary design schemes.Jude
The inspiration for the Jude cabinet pull came from an aluminum cabinet handle that was widely used in the 1960s.KH Clasp
Details like this would pass most people by, however, the way the material and texture is enhanced by the clasp, along with the neat line that displays the lace beneath the metal, is exactly what drew Kelly's attention.Dewhurst
The cascading effect, created by the stepped detail, is our interpretation of the layered shapes that characterised this period of design. The result is a striking handle which creates texture and interest.Bedford
With its classic T-bar design, the Bedford still remains a popular choice for those wanting a contemporary style with a bit more warmth and texture.Beresford
This design takes its innovation from the work of Arthur Beresford Pite, a well-known Edwardian architect. His buildings were bodly shaped by also incorporated intricate detail - two features which are clear in the design of this door knob.Boyle
We've drawn on Chiswick House's wealth of visual sources, such as interior half-filled fluted pillars, decorative architraves, soffits and porticos, to create the Boyle collection.Belgrave
Belgrave is inspired by the stately grace and immaculate facades of the townhouses of London's Belgravia district.Arrieta
Another source of inspiration were the incredible juguetes del viento (giant wind toys) by Spanish artist César Manrique on his home island of Lanzarote. Arrieta is the name of the village where the first of Manrique's dynamic installations was commissioned in 1992.Remmington
From the 16th Century to World War I, many men carried one of these practical accessories, fastened with a delicate chain often looped through the buttonhole on a waistcoat. Whilst their popularity waned with the introduction of the wrist watch, they remain a symbol of class and elegance today.Esprit
This cabinet handle was inspired by one of the most striking British car designs of all time, the Lotus Esprit, and pays homage to its angular aesthetic.Harrison
It was our first foray into what we call contemporary Deco style. Combining straight lines with subtle Art Deco detailing, the design incorporates a gently rounded back to the handle for a more comfortable grip.Clementine
The Clementine was inspired by antique glass decanter stoppers, popular in the Victorian era for storing alcohol.Caulet
The Caulet range is inspired by the battlements of medieval English castles. The layers of metal and reeded design of the lever are a form of fortification, giving an impression of weight and quality.Ripley
Ripley pays homage to traditional engineering tools, which often have a knurled pattern on the grip area of the tool.Arkwright
Inspired by one of the founding fathers of the British Industrial Revolution, Sir Richard Arkwright, this collection is an ode to Britain's prodigious influence on the transition to advanced manufacturing processes.Scala
Scala, the Italian word for stairs, was adopted as the collection's name, owing to the main feature of the handle: the stepped detail. Two finishes were introduced to highlight the dramatic impact of the pieces, which was inspired by both the geometric schemes of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa, and the intricate jewellery designs of Malaika Carr.Berkeley
berkeleyOrgano
The organically-shaped pieces are available in four unique finishes: Light Bronze, Dark Bronze, Old Silver, and Old Green.Bailey
The Bailey design demonstrates a perfect balance of form and function; the overall look is delicate whilst the functionality is reassuring and solid. One of our sources of inspiration was the London Underground logo, dubbed the 'roundel', which employs the same combindation of shapes.Ledge
The Ledge cabinet handles are one of our modern classics. The collection was inspired by our travels to Italy and the clean lines of Italian furniture and architecture, which we sought to pay homage to with the clean aesthetical styling of this design.Abbott
We are ever-inspired by the glitz of Manhattan circa the 20s and 30s and believe that every distinguished homeowner should have a pocket of this in their space. And so, the 'Abbott' range is the answer to your aesthetic needs; alluring, engaging and ever-so-glamorous.Velo
Each element is optimized for performance, from the seamless curved rocker to the tactile toggles and embedded dimmer knob all beautifully tied together with the halo design element, inspired by the sprinter's lane, evokes a sense of motion and energy.Mari
Mari is a beautiful thumb turn which has been carefully sculpted to be comfortable and easy to operate. Paired with several rose designs, there is an option to suit every interior.KH Dot
The initial concept was to showcase the connection between the stem and grip of a handle in a very honest but refined way, using an interconnecting pin. Dot features an etched detail on a sleek, elegant, handle, making a strong but subtle statement.Eclat
Unfussy and ergonomic, pieces in the Eclat collection don't distract or demand attention, but have been designed to effortlessly blend into any interior scheme.Wilson
The Wilson lever is based on Greek Revival architecture, a movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Pinch
The Pinch is the perfect user-friendly thumb turn, easy and comfortable to operate and universal in its design appeal. Sleek lines and simple forms means it is well-suited to contemporary interiors.KH Intersect
The interlocking design pairs an angular, rectangular stem with a smooth, cylindrical handle to create a timeless classic.Halsey
Named after the English architect Halsey Ricardo, this collection uses curved shapes to great effect.Alesca
Inspired by the SieMatic 6006 kitchen design of the 1960s, the Alesca cabinet handle is installed as an integral part of the door, combining timber and metal in a seamless yet interesting way.Rathbone
The Rathbone lever was developed in conjunction with a prominent London architect for a project in Grosvenor Square. We loved the clean and interesting lines and were delighted to add it to our range.Williamson
Inspired by the beautiful and sought-after aesthetic of the 1920s and 1930s, Williamson will add a touch of Gatsby era exuberance to any interior.Collett Marble
The design team envisioned the collection perfectly cohering with the buildings of pioneering architects of the period, such as Jose Plecnik and Adolf Loos. The completed designs feature the finest marble including White Onyx, Green Guatemala, Red Laguna, and Black Portoro to provide jewel-like finishing touches for the ultimate in luxury design schemes.Rohe
Having been concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era, Mies van der Rohe is often associated with the famous aphorism, less is more. His advocation for simplicity gives power to the forms and light of an architectural space.Arnold
The round barrel design, which is the main form of the Arnold collection, embraces Bauhaus principes of simplicity and geometry.Betsy
Our Betsy cabinet pulls are inspired by the multi-faceted crystals which are a feature of many a luxury chandelier.Jesse
Crafted to resemble traditional leather horse stirrups. Made with the finest bridle leather, and dyed through to give a deep, rich colour.Fino
We often find design inspiration from unlikely objects. The Fino is a good example of that, and was inspired by a beautiful contemporary headboard that featured large square quilted panels.Railton
Crafted from solid brass, our Railton lever handle is inspired by classical architecture in the form of Corinthian columns. Columns we drew inspiration from can be found at famous London structures including Gibson Hall and the famous Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square.Molten Texture
This exclusive collection is hand-made from real bronze using traditional sand casting methods, so each piece will be charmingly unique.Enid
The polished face of the Enid cabinet pull is evocative of a pebble found in a stream; smoothed over years of being under the caress of flowing water.Snug
Using Bauhaus principles, the Snug collection cleverly combines etheral glass with solid brass.Arlington
With the Arlington range, Joseph Giles is proud to revive an element of the coveted Art Deco style and make it available to your home or project.Infinity
Our Infinity range was developed in collaboration with Michaelis Boyd, and is inspired by The Round House, the family home of Alex Michaelis.Roland
This innocuous everyday object, while often taken for granted, is wonderfully tactile and a perfect shape and size for a door knob. We have changed the form slightly, elongating it so it appears to reach out from the door and invite the hand to use it.Regal
These solid brass stair rods are a decorative way to keep carpet stair runners in place.Winfield
Made from solid brass and hand finished, the honest and enduring character of the door knob lends an interior a feeling of refined quality. RW Winfield & Co. were one of the first brass foundrys to be established in Birmingham in 1887, and the classic cushion door knob design acknowledges the industry's roots.Fowler
The Fowler collection features a striking reeded motif in the shape of perfectly aligned concentric circles.Zelda
This door pull is named after Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of Great Gatsby writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and an icon in her own right. The fluidity and movement of the handle can be seen in its cascading ridges and round stepped rose of the handle, creating an classic Deco-style aesthetic.Buckland
The 19th century movement was both a philosophy and design style which celebrated the fusing of styles such as gothic, medieval and romantic decorations with the use of vernacular materials, distinctive shapes and detailing. The Buckland range features strikingly handsome elongated shapes blended with elegantly curved contouring.Root Collection
Root Collection DescriptionHuntingford
This collection was inspired by the shape and elegance of fine menswear, such as cufflinks. Since Joseph Giles prides itself on creating small, but important details, the idea of cufflinks, a miniature but key features in a harmonious and luxury outfit, fits perfectly within this ideology. A beautiful accessory for any luxury design scheme, Huntinford has been created for both function and form, and is a pleasure to touch.Arnett
A prime example of transitional style – a marriage between old and new. Fusing the well-established ribbed motif with an up-to-date drum shape, this doorknob puts a confidently modern slant on a conventional style.Barrel
The simple cylindrical shape of our Barrel thumb turn blends in with many of our different styles of door levers and knobs.Tectus
For the ultimate minimalist interior, the Tectus concealed hinge system enables unrebated doors to be completely flush and therefore integrated into walls and rooms.Irvine
Irvine is an innovation on typical contemporary design: we took a simple round bar and developed a stem that shrouded the grip for a unique handle shape.Our Bespoke Services
