Obsidian is a unique and highly prized material with many attributes. These qualities are why we chose the name Obsidian Black for the black knobs and accessories in our Decorative Designer Series line. In the business of knobs and accessories, the term ‘Decorative Designer’ refers to pieces that like Obsidian are special, unique, and very high in quality. They are made artistically from the best materials; they are the “Over the top” special touch, the unique accent that magnify the beauty in your kitchen or bathroom. The knobs and accessories in this series, which come in a sparkling array of colors including Obsidian Black, simultaneously transcend and enhance the unique architecture of your home. In the same way that a beautiful stone set in an elegant ring enhances the stone, the ring and the hand that wears it, the presence of the knobs and accessories in the Decorative Designer series in your home enhance not just the item it adorns, but also the room and the house in which it lives.

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, which has been highly prized by people throughout the world for millennia. The importance of Obsidian in Mesoamerican societies has been compared to the value and importance of steel in modern civilization. The unique brilliancy of Obsidian is unmatched. Black is the most commonly known color of Obsidian though it can also be found in a variety of colors. All Obsidian is translucent in nature and possesses the property of changing color according to the manner in which it is cut. It can be cut to exquisite thinness and maintain its dynamic sharpness. The natural sharpness of an Obsidian blade is why it has been used to make arrowheads and tools for centuries and is used today to make modern tools including scalpels.
