BIT PART Hannah recently launched architectural hardware
brand Bit Part with her long-term fabrication collaborator, metal
craftsman, Adam Corry. “I sketched a door knob and texted it to
him, he made one and here we are,” says Hannah. Made from brass,
bronze, stainless steel and marble, the range consists of knobs,
levers and pulls – with plans for furniture, lighting and accessories.
