Armac Martin has announced the launch of its Sketch collection, a new range that celebrates artistry, craftsmanship and materiality, launched exclusively at the opening of its new showroom at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.
Created in collaboration with product and industrial designer, Jake Solomon, Sketch originated from a single pencil drawing and developed into a considered collection spanning three distinct chapters: cabinet hardware, bathroom accessories and lighting.
Beginning as a freehand exploration of line, proportion and form, the initial sketch set the tone for the series, guiding a design language that feels both organic and refined.
Rooted in material and method, the collection balances functional design with sculptural expression, with each piece crafted in the heart of England from solid bronze using the lost-wax casting process – a technique where character is written into every finished form. Embracing the tactile beauty of the material, subtle casting variations are intentionally preserved as a defining design feature, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.
Hardware
The cabinet hardware collection comprises three cabinet knobs, two finger pulls, and five cabinet handles, each defined by a distinctive sculptural silhouette, available in two organic finishes: Silicon Bronze and White Bronze.
Designed for kitchens, pantries, utility rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms alike, the collection brings a refined sense of tactility and craftsmanship to both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Sketch also comprises Armac Martin’s debut lighting collection – including two sizes of desk lamp, a floor lamp, picture lights, vertical wall sconces, and a striking over-counter pendant – and a range of bathroom accessories.
