Geometric Door Hinges

Darren Ainsworth • September 29, 2014


Until about the year 1250 the majority of door hinges were the c hinge and strap design , we then begin to see the norman influence appear with the use of geometric motifs and wovern interlocking circles, one of the most striking examples for me, is the north door at little hormead church in hertfordshire.

Inspired by the little hormead church door and tasked with making the hinges for a pair of small oak doors,

with the brief being “something no one else has got” i came up with the design of the door hinges below.
