Sculpted Cloud Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A cloud-shaped cabinet knob with a carved face, 60 mm wide, from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

The outline is the same soft, lobed shape as our plain cloud knob, but here the face is hollowed: a broad dish falls away towards one side and ends in a small round scoop, so the surface reads as a drift of cloud rather than a flat silhouette. The hollow gives the fingertip somewhere to land, which makes it easier to pull than its size suggests — useful on a child's wardrobe, and quiet enough for a kitchen island in one of the darker finishes.

Product details

A cloud-shaped cabinet knob in solid ash, 60 × 40 mm, with a hollowed face. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Mounting
  1. Check that your door already has a mounting hole. If not, drill a 4 mm hole through the front.
  2. Pass the M4 × 30 mm screw through the hole from the back of the door.
  3. Thread the screw into the metal insert in the knob and tighten by hand, holding the knob level.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

The hollow runs towards one side, so the knob has a left and a right: fitted the other way up it still works, but it will not match the one next to it. Decide the direction on the first door and repeat it. At 60 mm wide, check the clearance to the edge of a narrow drawer before you drill. If your door is thinner than 24 mm, the screw will stand proud inside the insert; that is normal and does not affect how the knob holds.

Materials & workshop

Wood: solid ash, single block. Hardware: threaded metal insert and M4 × 30 mm screw.

Eleven of the twelve finishes use ADLER Legno Dura-Öl, an Austrian oil-based finish. It leaves a matt, open-pored surface — the colour sits in the wood rather than on top of it, so a green knob still reads as ash and not as painted board — while resisting water and household chemicals the way a varnish would. The oil is certified to EN 71-3 for the migration of heavy metals, and to DIN 53160-1 and 53160-2 for saliva and perspiration resistance. The twelfth option, Unfinished, is bare sanded ash with no coating; it is the palest of the set and darkens with handling.

Cut, shaped, sanded and finished in our own workshop in Roman, Romania. The dish is cut first and then blended by hand into the lobes, so there is no hard line anywhere between the hollow and the rim. Cutting down into the block exposes the grain at a different angle in the middle of the face than at the edge, which is why the centre often looks a shade darker once the oil goes on.

Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. The oil finish resists water and household cleaners, so no special product is needed and none is recommended.

The small scoop at the end of the hollow collects dust; a dry brush clears it faster than a cloth. Unfinished knobs have no coating and darken where the hand lands, which on this shape is always the same spot.
