modknobs

ModKnobs is a new company producing modern door knobs. Their story is cute: Mary & Jeff were remodeling their home and had a hard time finding cool doorknobs that were affordable. So, Jeff decided to design his own using, of all things, blue hockey pucks. After a while, Jeff started making them for friends.
