Klonk

A door knocker reimagined

Klonk is a contemporary interpretation of an everyday object that for generations was a natural part of the entrance – but has today been almost forgotten. The door knocker, once a signal of presence and hospitality, has long lived in the shadow of modern solutions. A familiar archetype, traditionally associated with figurative expression, is here reborn – pared-down, tactile, and with renewed dignity.

The figurative has given way to a refined clarity – restrained, yet far from anonymous. A simple, jointed form that, through its weight and balance, becomes a tool for communication. When the sphere strikes the post, a distinct knock sounds – not a thud, but a sharp, deliberate note. A sound that cuts through the silence, a reminder of the tactile connection between visitor and home. The audible gesture that precedes the encounter.

Klonk is made for those who value thoughtful details. It moves freely between architectural styles – from city to countryside, from gate to door. Its minimal silhouette makes it easy to place, while its presence is unmistakable. Like a piece of jewellery – never ornate, yet quietly charged.

There is a longing for permanence inscribed in Klonk’s design. It moves between past and present, between craft tradition and contemporary architecture. By working in genuine materials and with a form beyond trends, the door knocker reclaims its place – with new shape and extended meaning.

Klonk is made of solid brass and available in two finishes: raw and oxidised. With its simple construction and distinct character, Klonk becomes a detail that is not only seen – but heard.
