What are Doing Goods knobs?
A Doing Goods knob is a decorative handle used to upgrade drawers, cabinets, and furniture. At Dims Studio, you’ll find knobs from Doing Goods, known for their handcrafted details, colorful expressions, and whimsical shapes. Each knob is both a practical handle and a small piece of functional art that can breathe new life into even the most neutral furniture fronts.
Materials and unique types
Doing Goods knobs are primarily made of brass and enamel. The brass gives a warm, golden finish, while the enamel adds colorful details and playful motifs – often inspired by animals, flowers, or geometric shapes. All knobs are cast and hand-painted, making each one slightly unique. It’s not mass production, but small variations that make them personal and lively. You’ll also find knobs with stoneware details or glass insets, adding an extra layer of texture and color.
Sizes and dimensions
Most Doing Goods knobs measure between 3 and 5 cm in diameter, with a depth typically around 2.5–4 cm. The screw length is often about 4.5 cm, making them easy to mount on both thin and thicker doors or drawers. It’s a good idea to check the thickness of your doors, but as a rule, Doing Goods knobs fit standard furniture from both new and older collections. The knobs are solid without feeling heavy, and their round or oval shapes make them comfortable to grip.
The story behind Doing Goods
Doing Goods is a Dutch brand that since 2010 has collaborated with small family-owned workshops in India. Every product – including the knobs – is handmade, often by the same artisans behind the brand’s popular animal rugs. Doing Goods focuses on fair trade, sustainability, and giving traditional techniques new life in modern homes. The motifs are playful and colorful, and you can recognize Doing Goods by their slightly naive but always loving design language, where animals, flowers, and nature reappear.

Interior styles and inspiration
Doing Goods knobs suit several styles. In a bohemian-inspired home, they can be mixed across colors and shapes. In a classic or Nordic room, they act as small splashes of color that break the simple look. The animal motifs fit both vintage and modern interiors – especially if you dare to mix them with other handmade items. They also add a bit of extra soul and humor in summer cottages or allotment houses.
