The character
XS: its place in the collection
Our XS format is the smallest in the collection. It’s a knob, only a knob, made to disappear into the gesture rather than draw attention. No pattern, no sculpted ornament: only a clean silhouette that owns its function without seeking the eye. Unlike our other pieces, the XS carries no lion, no scrollwork, no foliage. The shape speaks alone, and that is precisely its singularity.

Uses for the XS format
As a knob
This size finds its place on small pieces of furniture whose front cannot compete with too bold a detail: vanity drawers, nightstand fronts, desk cubbies, small cabinet doors, low display cases, liquor cabinets, antique secretaries, jewelry boxes, or apothecary cabinets. It is also the right choice for highly compartmentalized sideboards, where a multiplication of more generous handles would immediately weigh down the look. Several small XS knobs placed in rhythm produce a light, almost musical graphic effect rather than visual clutter.
The XS is also the answer for signed pieces you do not wish to reinvent but simply want to dress: you replace a worn original knob with one of the same footprint, without unbalancing the proportions of a Louis-Philippe, a 1930s chest of drawers, or Scandinavian furniture whose sobriety defines its identity. It is a quiet intervention, one that restores more than it reinterprets.
Pose & fixation
How to install it
The XS is fixed with a single mounting point: one central hole that lets you update an existing piece of furniture without hiding traces left by a previous knob. It’s also the most direct solution when you want to shift the handle to rebalance an asymmetrical front.
By touch
The hand and the gesture
Despite its small scale, the piece stays full, dense, and keeps the material character the atelier is known for. It sits between thumb and forefinger, with no grip to speak of: the gesture stays light, almost furtive. The available finishes match the rest of the collection, so you can keep perfect consistency between an XS knob on a small door and a more generous pull on the drawer next to it.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about XS-size handles
Product and Material
Sizes and Patterns
Are All Finishes and Patterns Available in Size XS?
Nearly all finishes, yes. As for patterns, the more detailed ones (lions, fine scrollwork) gain clarity at size M and above: on a very small size, an intricate design reads less clearly. The exact combinations of size, pattern, and material appear at the moment of choice, on the product page. When in doubt about a sculptural pattern, go with M or a larger size.
Center-to-center spacing and drilling
Can I Order a Size with a Non-standard Center-to-center?
Yes. Most of our two-point sizes can be ordered with custom drilling, around the standard values of 96, 128, and 160 mm depending on the size. Just note the center-to-center you need in the order comments. The handle's overall length stays the same, only the screw positions shift to line up with your existing holes. It's the solution for replacing an old handle without redrilling your front.

Choosing your size
What Size Handle for a Kitchen or a Walk-in Closet?
In the kitchen, size M (128 mm center-to-center) is the safe choice for recent door and drawer fronts; for large pot and pan drawers, move up to L (160 mm) or XL (192 mm). In a closet, XL matches the verticality of full-height doors, while M or S stay discreet on interior drawers. The general rule: match the handle's presence to the scale of the piece. When in doubt, a medium size works almost everywhere.
Does Size XS Fit My Furniture?
Each size has its favorite pieces, detailed in the Uses section at the top of this page. The simple rule: match the handle's presence to the piece of furniture, a small drawer calls for a small size, a large front can take a longer one without looking overwhelmed. Size XS fits within that logic of proportion. If you're replacing a two-point pull, the main thing to check is that its center-to-center matches your existing holes.
Find your handles in size XS
If you’re looking for a small cabinet knob that recedes in favor of the piece, that fits in without staking its own claim, and that wears its modesty as a kind of elegance, the XS is made for you.
