RESERVE COLLECTION
All Reserve traditional and contemporary products will be available in the new polished nickel finish, which is meticulously crafted from brass, and coated with an ultra-hard lacquer making it extremely durable and resistant to the effects of wear and tear. The La Jolla handleset features a minimalistic design with clean lines and crisp straight edges for a contemporary look. Santa Cruz also plays to a contemporary audience with a long profile and smooth lines. The new crystal knob brings brilliant clarity with light-catching crystal, while the contemporary knob features a round shape contrasted with flat edges.

70 YEARS BOLD
In addition to unveiling the new Reserve products, Baldwin is delighting show goers by bringing 70 years of design heritage to life. Models adorned with headpieces and gowns inspired by Baldwin hardware bring new meaning to the term "door couture."

"Many people like to say that 'hardware is like jewelry for the door,'" added Rosch. "We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home; part of your design aesthetic. Baldwin is couture for the door."
