Clasp
Simple geometry and delicate details, shaped in solid brass
The Clasp Collection
The Inspiration
It was Kelly’s microscopic attention to detail that really resonated with our team. The tiny aglet of a shoelace provided inspiration for her design, which sees a sleek and shiny clasp gripping tightly onto a smooth cylindrical lever or pull handle. Just a slender gap is visible in the clasp, but it’s enough to catch the eye beautifully and deliver an element of style that is uniquely Kelly Hoppen.
Developing the Clasp lever
During the product development phase, our design team was put to task with the C-shaped clasp. However, they found it bent outwards whenever the bolt fixing the stem to the grip was tightened. Never deterred by a challenge, our highly-skilled team was able to reverse engineer the design to mean the clasp was tightened along with the bolt, which helped uphold the concept of a delicate gap while assuring a solid mounting.
