Martin Pierce is a designer of custom door handles and luxury door hardware for the home and for hospitality sector. As a sculptor and artist, he has steered his company, Martin Pierce Hardware to create a diverse and unique collection of custom door hardware. At the end of 2018 Martin Pierce’s door handle designs became a focal point for the public areas at the luxury Post Oak Hotel, a Gensler designed Landry’s project in Houston. The Uptown Houston which opened in 2019 project has been acclaimed as a 5 diamond hotel and Martin Pierce was chosen to design and fabricate braid style door handles for the suites and large door pulls depicting the post oak tree for the galleria, ballrooms and other public spaces.
Martin Pierce founded the company initially to create artistic cabinet hardware for the furniture pieces in his Hedgerow collection. The cabinet hardware designs created an audience beyond furniture collectors and as demand grew the company developed a more comprehensive line of door hardware and bathroom accessories. More recently the company has added LED lights to their contemporary steel handles and have added a small collection of LED wall sconces to their brand.
The hardware collections range from contemporary to classical designs and include organic shapes, trees, insects, lizards and ocean themes all cast in investment bronze or stainless steel and made in Los Angeles. The company’s focus on exceptional quality and intricate detail make it an obvious source for those seeking original hardware and their clientele runs the gamut from wine cellar owners to luxury home contractors to designers of 5 star resorts.
The company has plans to add a range of illuminated cabinet handles to their existing illuminated door handles and as well as a range of barn door handles.
