Matte Black Hardware & Nate Berkus (Birthday)

Birthday boy and Designer Nate Berkus is 48 years old (September 17th)

 ... and apparently hates the matte black finish/color.  Did not know this before I chose my Kitchen and RO faucets, but no matter, I would have still bought them.


Nate Berkus Can’t Get on Board With This Popular Kitchen Trend - Lydia Geisel, Domino Magazine


Nate Berkus isn’t afraid to go against the grain ...
 Chairish, the online marketplace for vintage decor and furniture, recently gathered a crew of our favorite celebrity designers to play a game of “love it” or “hate it.” Berkus, Brent, Bobby Berk, and Leanne Ford were just a few who were present for the fun. Each designer was handed a two-sided paddle and asked to weigh in on popular design trends. Ford captured the heated debate on her Instagram Stories.
While we weren’t surprised to find that the majority of the group was firmly against flameless candles (although, Berk made a powerful case for restaurants and windy days), when asked about matte black hardware everyone came to a positive consensus—err, that is with the exception of Berkus.





“You hate it? Sick of it?” Chairish cofounder Anna Brockway asked Berkus. His face says it all. “I mean, I don’t hate iron—real iron—but I’m tired of matte black,” he confidently declared. 
We tried to contain our confusion as the shocking news sank in. Tired of matte black? Where does he stand on glossy black? If iron is cool, what about oil-rubbed bronze? What does this mean for modern-minimalist kitchens? We’ve become totally unhinged. 
In our search for answers, we fell down a rabbit hole of chic black hardware because, hey, we’re not ready to take sides just yet. As it turns out, there’s a knob, pull, and hinge for everyone to love—including Berkus.
