Each knob measures 5 x 5 x 6.5 cm and is shaped like a five-pointed star. The brass is recycled material, and the manual casting process means no two knobs are exactly alike – small differences in surface texture and color tone are a natural part of the craftsmanship. Doing Goods works directly with family workshops in India, preserving traditional metal techniques.
You can screw the knobs onto cabinet doors, dressers, or drawers as decorative handles. Alternatively, they can be mounted on the wall as hooks using rawlplugs – but keep in mind that brass is softer than iron, so avoid heavy coats or bags. They work well for lightweight dresses, hats, school bags, or toy bags in the children's room.
Care and maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth. Brass naturally develops a patina over time – if you want to keep the shiny finish, you can polish with brass polish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Doing Goods cabinet knobs and regular IKEA knobs?
Doing Goods knobs are hand-cast from recycled brass at family workshops in India, so each knob has small unique variations. IKEA knobs are mass-produced identical copies. Doing Goods knobs are also heavier and have a warmer, more vibrant surface than standard zinc or plastic knobs.
Can I use the Oda Star cabinet knob as a hook for heavy coats?
No, brass is a softer metal than iron, so avoid heavy winter coats or loaded bags. The knobs work best for light textiles like pajamas, dresses, hats, or children's school bags. For heavier clothing, choose hooks made of hardened steel.
How do I mount brass knobs on the wall as hooks?
You need rawlplugs (plastic wall anchors) and screws suitable for your wall material. Drill a hole, insert the rawlplug, and screw the knob’s thread in place. Make sure the screw is short enough so the star shape sits close to the wall. Install at least 120 cm high for adult clothing, lower for children’s rooms.
Is a brass star knob a good housewarming gift?
Yes, especially if you give 3-5 pieces so the recipient can create a small hook rack or replace knobs on a dresser. It’s a personal gift that shows thoughtfulness, and recycled craftsmanship appeals to those who value sustainability. Feel free to combine with other Doing Goods designs like moon or heart.
Does brass turn green over time?
Yes, brass naturally oxidizes and develops a darker patina – it’s not rust but a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air. Some prefer the lively patina, others polish the knobs with brass polish to maintain the golden shine. Both are completely normal for genuine brass.
