Joseph Giles Tiro - Inspired by Earth’s Beauty

Launched at London Design Week, the Tiro is a collaboration between Joseph Giles and Studio Indigo.

The tranquil rock pools that grace the Italian landscape were the inspiration behind the Tiro collection. Carved into the bedrock by centuries of flowing water, these natural basins are mirrored in the stepped detail of each piece. Meaning 'pull' in Italian, Tiro speaks to the function as much as to the fluid motion of water.

Created in collaboration with Studio Indigo, Joseph Giles designed these pieces of hardware to be more than just points of contact; they are conversations with nature, a daily interaction with the art that is formed from the earth's own natural processes. Through Tiro, users pull open more than just doors; they unveil an experience, a connection to the elemental artistry of the world.

These handles can be fitted side by side in the same orientation, or flipped to create an interlocking pattern.

These products are aesthetically organic, a look that is achieved by casting from brass or bronze. The nature of casting means there is variation in every handle, making each one unique.
