Style: Handle
Material: Brass

The Dancing Snake handle coils across a door or drawer front in solid brass — a striking, tactile pull that reads as much as sculpture as it does hardware. Snakes carry meanings of healing and renewal across many cultures, which makes this a thoughtful housewarming gift as well as a striking detail.

Who made your handle?

Cast by George Kofi and his team in Kumasi, the capital of Ghana's Ashanti Region. George has been practising lost-wax brass casting for around 15 years, learning the craft from his uncle, and has worked with AARVEN since 2018. He runs the workshop with his business partner Monica and five other artisans.
