Premium Designer Doorware: Elevating Australian Architecture with Apollo Design's Tuscany Collection
When architects, designers, and custom home builders across Australia specify door hardware, they're not just selecting functional components—they're curating the tactile story of every space. In 2025's evolving design landscape, designer doorware has emerged as the defining detail that separates exceptional projects from ordinary builds, and Apollo Design's Tuscany lever handle collection stands as the benchmark for sophisticated architectural hardware.
The Renaissance of Traditional Lever Design in Contemporary Architecture
Australia's design professionals are witnessing a profound shift toward traditional lever designs that marry heritage craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities.
The movement away from stark minimalism toward designs with character and tactile warmth reflects a broader architectural philosophy—spaces should feel as exceptional as they appear.
The Tuscany lever handle collection exemplifies this evolution perfectly. Inspired by Italian design heritage yet engineered for Australian conditions, each piece delivers the soft feel and sophisticated detailing that today's discerning architects demand. This isn't merely hardware; it's architectural jewelry that transforms every door interaction into a moment of refined experience.
Five Premium Finishes Defining Australian Luxury Interiors
Apollo Design's Tuscany lever handle collection addresses the sophisticated palette requirements of today's premium projects through five carefully curated finishes. Each option reflects current Australian design trends while maintaining timeless appeal:
Chrome Plate leads current specifications, particularly the Tuscany lever on traditional plate in Chrome Plate—a standout favorite among architects working on contemporary residential and commercial projects. Its clean, reflective surface complements both warm and cool interior palettes while delivering exceptional durability.
Matt Black continues its dominance in luxury interiors, offering the bold contrast that elevates neutral schemes. Antique Brass brings heritage warmth to traditional and transitional projects, while Satin Brass provides contemporary luxury with subtle vintage undertones. Polished Brass rounds out the collection with classic elegance suited to formal architectural settings.
Versatile Mounting Options for Every Architectural Vision
Understanding that different projects demand different aesthetic approaches, Apollo Design offers the Tuscany collection across three distinct mounting configurations:
The Tuscany lever on round rose delivers minimalist sophistication ideal for contemporary builds where clean lines are paramount. Its 50mm diameter creates subtle visual presence while maintaining ergonomic excellence.
The Tuscany lever on traditional plate brings classical proportions perfect for heritage restorations, Hamptons-style builds, and projects requiring substantial visual weight. The traditional plate's larger surface area creates impressive presence on substantial doors.
The Tuscany lever on rectangle plate offers modern architectural statement-making capability. Its geometric precision appeals to architects specifying contemporary commercial projects or residential builds requiring bold, linear hardware elements.
