Through his diverse talents, Martin Pierce has continued to meet the need of those consumers by designing products that reflect their personality rather than those dictated by brand recognition. Lighting has also captured the artist’s attention, and he has created a collection of unusual, illuminated door handles and wall sconces for larger hospitality projects where quantity purchases warrant the costly licensing process. ![]() In his fictional space, these pieces, whether a one-off piece or part of a limited edition, Martin shares his creative portrayals of an imaginary space shared between the artist’s “humanoids and their insect companions.” Martin Pierce Hardware’s website also features his artistic work, including sculptures and paintings featuring imaginative depictions of insects or nature. All these items reflect the inspiration Pierce draws from nature. The collection initially started with cabinet pulls but soon expanded to include door handles, door hardware, bathroom accessories, and lighting. ![]() Martin calls his artistic cabinet hardware functional art, something born out of an absence of suitable hardware for their furniture designs. Martin and Anne Pierce, originally from England, moved to Los Angeles in 1980, where they started creating custom furniture pieces in their unique style. Each pull requires a separate wax model, and once shelled from the wax, each unique piece is finished and dipped in molten bronze or stainless steel to achieve the light or dark bronze or brushed nickel finish. Since they are made to order, no two cabinet pulls are identical, thanks to the casting method and artistry used to complete them. The Large Orchid has a 7” width and 6 ½” height, making it an impressive enhancement for showcasing interior spaces. The larger cabinet pull’s purpose is for those wanting to make a bold statement on their interior or bigger cabinet doors. Joining the fantastic realism of the small cabinet pulls in the Orchid range that includes Orchid Knob, and Orchid Stem comes the Large Orchid. Still, customers can order configurations and design variations based on their vanity measurements and desired metallic finish. Therefore, the length of the Orchid Spray is ideal for three drawers or two doors. The light antique bronze finish offsets the beautiful design.įrom leaf top to leaf top, the Orchid Spray has a height of 11” and a depth of 2”. In the custom Orchid Spray cabinet hardware collection designed for bathroom vanities, Pierce has created a gorgeous length of interconnected orchid sprays that measures 6’ long from the bottom leaf to the final orchid. However, their castings maintain a closer similarity to the Venus Slipper and Moth orchid (or perhaps a yet undiscovered variety). The artist says that his custom cabinet and door hardware do not depict any one type of orchid. The Orchid collection is popular because of the species’ beauty and more than 20,000 known varieties and hybrids. Our Orchid Spray and Large Orchid continue our long tradition of original designs and attention to the finer details.” “We seek to perfect their need for comfort and the long aesthetic pleasure they seek. “The demand for unusual and unique door handles, and hardware continues to grow because consumers seek to reflect their individuality in the spaces they live, work, or do both in,” says Anne Pierce, Martin Pierce’s wife and business partner. The other nature ranges are Willow, Fish, Grapevine, Lizard, Mushroom, Butterfly, Bird, Bee, Frog, and Dragonfly. These include Hedgerow, inspired by the countryside of the couple’s country of origin, England. The additions to the Orchid collection enhance their already unique door hardware collection, primarily based on nature. ![]() ![]() Besides his original cabinet hardware collections, he makes decorative bathroom accessories and limited edition sculptures. Martin Pierce’s unique style manifests itself in several forms. The stem orchid and large orchid designs each serve their purpose, depending on if they are needed for interior doors and cabinets or as a custom size length of interconnected sprays for creating impressive bathroom vanities.
