1. Design Aesthetics:  

Within the realm of hospitality projects, there's a resounding shift towards minimalistic door hardware. This trend emphasizes clean, streamlined designs, prioritizing the subtlety of door hardware details in modern luxury. The spotlight on minimalism underscores the idea that simplicity and elegance are paramount in elevating the guest experience.

2. Smart Door Locks:

The age of smart technology has permeated the hospitality sector. Advanced door lock systems, including keyless options such as smartphones, cards, or biometrics, are becoming the standard in luxury hotels.

In luxury establishments, a growing trend revolves around enhancing the guest experience. This trend places functional, ergonomic door hardware at the forefront, seamlessly blending aesthetics with usability. FORMANI leads the way in this trend, offering meticulously crafted knobs, pulls, and handles that prioritize intuitive use and optimal comfort.

4. Unique but Strong Finish Options:

While design is paramount, the finish of hardware provides that final, distinguishing touch. Traditional finishes such as matte and polished continue to hold their ground, but specialized finishes are on the rise. For instance, finishes like PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) are gaining significant attention, offering not only aesthetic appeal but also heightened durability and tarnish resistance. On top of this, satin gold is emerging as a sought-after choice, infusing a modern essence of luxury and a warm sheen into door hardware designs, while bronze finishes are also making a strong statement in contemporary hospitality trends.

Beyond aesthetics and function, the environmental footprint of the materials and processes employed is now front and center.
