We are back with the second part of our Helser Brothers x Forest Drapery Hardware collaboration. This time we are introducing more decorative metal hardware in both traditional rods and traverse track rod styles. These collections have been added to our Metro and Ruffino lines respectively, so take a look at all of the new options. Otherwise, here is a brief rundown of what has been added.
1 ⅛” Metro Aluminum
If you are looking for budget-friendly hardware without having to sacrifice quality, check out our newest additions to the 1 ⅛” Metro hardware collection. Unlike the other rods, the 1 ⅛” Metro Aluminum rod features a plastic insert along the top, which serves to reduce noise while operating. Pair with the corresponding Flat Ring for optimal noise reduction.
1 3/16″ Lisbon Brass
The Lisbon collection features sleek and modern brass hardware with an excellent range of beautiful brushed and polished metal finishes. It shares several finials and brackets with its sister collection, Aveiro, and if you like to mix-and-match your finishes, Lisbon and Aveiro hardware can be used together.
1 3/16″ Aveiro Steel
While the Aveiro collection shares several hardware and finial options with its sister collection, Lisbon, it also has its own appeal. Made of stainless steel, Aveiro offers a small selection of understated finishes that fit beautifully in a more neutral or professional setting. Aveiro also has a few unique finials, such as the Winch and Spool finial, which are stainless steel wrapped in faux black or brown leather.
3/4″ and 1 3/16″ Porto Wrought Iron
If you want distressed, aged, and/or traditional wrought iron hardware, the Porto collection is a great choice. Porto features two rod sizes, multiple strap style brackets, and finials modeled after classic designs. Examples include the curling Troia finial, the twisted Caracola finial, or the simple but iconic Aggie finial. Porto also has unique Forest finishes that offer distressed versions of popular metal finishes.
Dresden & Deventer Traverse
We have improved our selection of 1 ⅛” traversing hardware by bringing in Forests Dresden and Deventer hardware. While functionally the same as our Metro 1 ⅛” traverse rods, these lines have a wider variety of finish options and brackets. Keep in mind that while the finishes appear to be the same, there is a difference between the Chrome and Brushed Nickel on our Metro hardware and the Satin Nickel and Polished Chrome on Dresden and Deventer hardware. For this reason, mixing and matching finials, brackets, and end-caps between the lines is not recommended.
1 ⅛” & 1 9/16″ Metro Corded Traverse
Corded Drapery has grown in popularity, especially in hospitality and medical settings, so we have brought in both the utilitarian CCS track as well as a decorative version. This decorative track comes in two sizes, 1 ⅛” and 1 9/16″, and shares many of the polished and brushed plated finishes as the Deventer and Dresden collection.
Stuttgart Oval, Rectangle, & C-Rail Traverse
The last of the new decorative metal collections, the Stuttgart collection has 3 uniquely beautiful profiles. Stuttgart Rectangle has a modern rectangular track and simple but visually pleasing finials. Stuttgart Oval offers a slightly squared-off oval-shaped track in 2 sizes, 1 1/2″ and 2 3/4″, as a modern twist on a round rod. Finally, the Stuttgart C-Rail offers a uniquely C-shaped track and fascia combo. All three lines have limited available finishes, but make perfect additions to professional spaces, luxury hotel rooms, and other settings with a minimalist or modern design aesthetic.
