Series One: The Art of Glass in Interior Design - Creating a Clean, Fresh Look with Jazz & Riffs Hardware Collection

October 8, 2024 - Mesa, Arizona -
Jazz & Riffs Hardware Collection offers more than just functionality - it's about creating beauty and providing the final touch that completes any space. Our hand-cut glass hardware elevates interiors with elegance, giving a modern twist to classic design elements.

Key Benefits of Using Jazz & Riffs Hardware:

 
Unique Designs with Hand-Cut Glass: Each piece is a work of art, crafted to enhance your interior's character.
 
Reflective Surfaces: Our hardware captures and complements surrounding light, creating a dynamic, changing aesthetic.
 
Versatile Color Options: With a variety of hues, our hardware can blend seamlessly with various design styles, from contemporary to traditional.
 
Exclusivity with Patented Designs: We hold two U.S. Design Patents, making our hardware truly distinctive.
 
Made in the USA: Our hardware is crafted with precision and quality in every detail.

Today's interior design trends emphasize clean lines, open spaces, and the use of natural light. Our hand-cut glass hardware works in harmony with these trends, enhancing spaces with reflective surfaces that accentuate colors and textures. Each piece is designed to create a visual impact that draws attention and admiration. For instance, our 'Golden Eyes' forged glass hardware is an exquisite alternative to traditional brass hardware.

A Closer Look at 'Golden Eyes'
'Golden Eyes' glass combines brass metal grains with clear forged glass to create a shimmering, luxurious brass-tone effect. This color is enhanced by our unique glass patterns, giving depth and brilliance. Depending on your chosen finish, you can achieve either a softer, muted effect with our Satin Nickel stainless steel or a brighter, more striking look with Mirror Polished stainless steel.

Why choose 'Golden Eyes' glass over traditional brass? Our shimmering brass-tone glass adds a sophisticated glow, bringing warmth and depth to any room. Perfect for creating an elegant, understated shine that complements a variety of interiors.
Jazz & Riffs received its first patent in 2014, and since then, founder Alexa Milton has expanded the collection, drawing from her extensive experience in hospitality interior design. Each glass color, pattern, and size are designed for a specific use, making our hardware as functional as it is beautiful. When you see it and touch it, you'll fall in love - it's like we always say: 'It's Music for Your Eyes.'

This is just the beginning of our journey into the art of glass in interior design. Stay tuned for more insights and inspiration in our upcoming series. Follow us on Instagram (@JazzRiffsHardware) and visit our website for more information and where to find Jazz & Riffs Hardware near you.

'This is just the start of the story. Each piece of glass, each design tells a unique tale - a reflection of beauty that transforms a space. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the art and innovation behind our collection. Your space deserves nothing less.'


 

United States Innovation & Excellence Awards 2022 - LUXURY HARDWARE COMPANY OF THE YEAR -

United States
Innovation & Excellence Awards 2022
LUXURY HARDWARE COMPANY OF THE YEAR
Jazz & Riffs Hardware Collection
By: Corporate Live Wire Publications UK

Headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, Jazz & Riffs Hardware Collection is a manufacturing company specializing in luxury cabinet hardware. The company partners with various suppliers based across the country, and it has showroom collections in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, and New York. Furthermore, it regularly attracts business from architects, designers, and luxury construction contractors, and its products are frequently supplied to the luxury residential and hospitality industries. Jazz & Riffs' distinctive line of hardware includes cabinet hand pulls, knobs, shower door handles, and handles that accent special area doors, and these products are fitted to cabinet doors, glass doors, and drawers.

'THE JAZZ & RIFFS PRODUCT
LINE IS OFFERED IN 10 DIFFERENT COLOURS SO
THAT CLIENTS CAN PIECE TOGETHER THE PERFECT
LOOK FOR THEIR INTERIORS.'

The handmade product line was inspired by company founder Alexa Milton, an experienced interior designer who has developed fittings with a specific and unique design that can use ambient light to enhance the materials and furnishings around it - elevating any given interior to a new level of elegance. Jazz & Riffs continues to analyze its manufacturing process and already uses sustainable materials such as glass for a sizeable amount of its product line. Silica is the main component of creating glass, a renewable resource that's found in sand - which is an almost limitless resource. The company also frequently uses 100% stainless steel, another green material that is fully recyclable and additionally, doesn't produce any toxic run-off in production.

The judging panel was particularly impressed by the company's innovative designs. Jazz & Riffs Hardware Collection have developed glass handles and cabinet pulls that are particularly distinctive because of their layered design, with each piece being accurately cut to specific shapes and sizes. Furthermore, the line is offered in 10 different colors so that clients can piece together the perfect look for their interiors.

There are two opposing styles, named Jazz and Riffs, and each one has officially been granted a design patent in the United States, ensuring that the company can continue to pioneer this luxury hardware. Its exquisite glass manufacturing has also led to developments in door handle design, where it has created larger versions for shower door panels and even for a home's front door, where the design has proven resistant to all types of weather.

 

Another Perfect Fit! Jazz & Riffs and Chan's Place

August 23, 2017 - Woodinville, WA -
I was just visiting Woodinville, WA and had dinner at a restaurant called Chan's Place | Cuisine of China. Chan's is amazing, they serve upscale, traditional Chinese food but with a menu that has more fresh and stylized entrees.

The Chan's advocate using only the finest ingredients and the freshest produce available. Their cooks use low-cholesterol vegetable oil and imported herbs and spices to create their fresh and modern dishes.

But enough with the food! The look of the restaurant is stunning. It stays clean and beautiful day after day, and their two locations have been around for over 30 years. They've utilized Jazz & Riffs Hardware for all their cabinetry in the main dining areas, topping off the modern and luxurious feel.

Chan's Place is truly a restaurant that likes to stay current and deserves attention. Next time you're in the neighborhood, check it out!

Trends in Cabinet Hardware

October 29, 2015 -
We would like to start a discussion about trends in hardware. How do you feel about trends? Is this important to you? What if you install what is the newest trend and you discover that it is not really what you want?

Could it be that researching product and finding what you like may be more important than going with what has been anointed as the newest most popular thing?

Hardware on your cabinets and drawers in your kitchen and bath are going to be there for awhile as long as you select something that is durable. So it seems that selecting something that really appeals to you would make sense.
