Valli&Valli's vcr line of hardware is designed by renowned architects, so it's easy to see why other architects favor it. Constructed of solid brass or zinc with chrome, satin chrome, and stainless steel finishes, vcr handles, pulls, and knobs “feel good in your hand,” Steely says. He also likes that they're “reasonably priced.” Valli&Valli (U.S.A.), 877.326.2565; www.vallievalli.com.
