The natural stone range by TIRAR, designers and manufacturers of architectural door furniture and accessories based in Sydney, draws on the elegance of stone to create a series of timeless pieces that combine natural beauty with considered functionality.

TIRAR founder and designer Felice Carlino has always been driven by the belief that style and grace are just as important as structure and purpose. TIRAR’s natural stone range is at estament to this principle, comprised of a collection of architectural door furniture and accessories in stone that feel luxuriously smooth in the hand and offer the reassuring honesty present only in the tactile beauty of natural materials.

TIRAR’s natural stone range embodies the timeless beauty and quality of the material.

While the design and manufacturing of architectural hardware tends to be focused on utility, Felice states, “is anything so utilitarian that it should be denied the opportunity to be expressed in the allure of naturalstone?” The Mela and Cassetto stone cabinet pulls are a true reflection of this sentiment. Available in Fontainbleu stone and Calcultta marble, the materiality of the products sees the dark intensity of Fontainbleu complemented by the purity of Calacatta marble.

One of the most desirable Italian marbles in the world, Calacatta is a unique combination of white, grey and hues of gold flowing through the dramatic veins. Conversely, the true beauty of Fontainbleu stone lies in the rich and subtle details, the shadowy tones and the delicate linear viewing that delivers a beautiful natural finish.

TIRAR’s natural stone range embodies the timeless beauty and quality of the material. “The textural finishes, visual characteristics and colour variation, determined randomly depending on the mineral content, excites our creativity,” reflects Felice. “It’s the inconsistency of stone which makes very piece of the collection of door furniture truly unique.”
