HANDLE
The Elkay Lustertone Classic Stainless Steel sink pairs beautifully with any handle—even those on a well-displayed set of knives.
The choice of a contrasting wood handle makes the Matte White of this Jason Wu for Brizo pull-down kitchen faucet stand out.
ON THE HANDLE H andles are so essential and yet so often underappreciated. They call forth water from the depths, separate outside from in, and help us store everything from fine china to extra garbage bags. But even if you may not spend too much time thinking about han- dles, the people who make handles certainly do. They think about making them durable enough to stand up to repeated use, beautiful enough to be admired from across the room, and shaped to fit our hands just so. Some designers want a handle that blends in seamless- ly; others like a sharp contrast—like a style exclamation point. So we shopped some of our favorite brands, and we came back with a handful of handles that range from the perfectly practical to the fully fanciful. See what grabs you. ■ STYLE YOU CAN TOUCH T E X T STEWART KELLER
