The CASAWAVE Philosophy

Generalist Mega-Brand
vs. Specialist Matrix

Many publicly-listed hardware brands (such as Higold) are built for market-share, not mastery. They manufacture water sinks, outdoor furniture, drawer slides, and hinges — all under one roof. Volume is their language. Precision is ours.

The Conventional Approach

The Generalist
Mega-Brand

  • Listed on stock exchanges; growth driven by category expansion and acquisitions
  • Same engineering team designs kitchen baskets, bathroom fittings, and outdoor umbrellas
  • Hardware is a SKU in a catalogue — not a craft obsession
  • Marketing budget directs perception; showroom staging does the rest
  • Good enough for mass-market residential. Not enough for haute couture interiors
VS
The CASAWAVE Approach

The Curated
Specialist Matrix

  • One global champion per category, selected by performance benchmarks — not by trade deals
  • Each brand engineers a single vertical for 20+ years. Depth over breadth
  • Kitchen hardware is science. Wardrobe hardware is art. Lighting is theatre
  • We source what the world's best ateliers and design studios actually specify
  • When your brief is exceptional, your supply chain must be exceptional first
Cooktime kitchen hardware system — pull-out drawer with precision dividers

Cooktime (酷太)
& 格麦

The Professional Alternative to Higold & Generalist Brands.

A kitchen cabinet works harder than any other furniture in your home. It opens and closes hundreds of times a year, bears concentrated loads, and must perform flawlessly in a steam-heavy, high-heat environment. Traditional wire baskets are crude instruments for a precision challenge. Cooktime (酷太) was born from one obsession: making every cubic centimeter of a kitchen cabinet perform at its absolute peak.

↕
Lower Cabinet Linkage System — synchronized pull-out tiers that move as one, eliminating dead zones in deep base cabinets
▦
Precision Drawer Dividers — modular internal architecture configured to exact utensil and pantry requirements, not guesswork
◎
Soft-Close at Load — damped closure mechanisms rated under full load; designed for daily professional-grade use
While mega-brands engineer baskets for low cost and volume distribution, Cooktime engineers load-bearing solutions for professional-grade kitchens. The difference is the weight you can pull with one finger.
NUOMI wardrobe hardware — saddle leather jewellery drawer and rotating shoe rack

NUOMI (诺米)
& 苏伯瑞

Milan Aesthetics. Obsessive Damping. Leather That Remembers Touch.

Wardrobe hardware is not a structural challenge. It is a sensory one. The moment a client opens a jewellery drawer and feels full-grain saddle leather beneath their fingertips — finished with flush-set stitching and a barely-visible aluminium frame — they understand the difference between a wardrobe and a dressing room. NUOMI has spent years in Italian design studios refining exactly this moment. No hardware conglomerate can replicate it as a side project.

◈
Saddle Leather Jewellery Trays — hand-finished, anti-tarnish lined compartments with seamless leather upholstery and matte-black aluminium borders
↺
360° Rotating Shoe Carousel — motorized or manual, with stable load distribution and velvet-finish shelving that never marks the sole
∿
Hydraulic Damping, Zero Tolerance — every door and drawer closes with the same pressure, every time; engineered to a tenth of a millimetre
A mixed-category hardware factory designs leather by weight and cost per metre. NUOMI designs by the experience of a hand sliding across the surface. The difference is felt, not described.
ARTCILUX cabinet lighting — 4000K seamless strip with hidden wiring inside wardrobe

ARTCILUX
(阿特兰斯)

A Dark Wardrobe Is Just a Box.

Light transforms storage into theatre. The shadow that falls across a folded shirt, the way a shoe glows on its shelf, the moment a cabinet opens and the interior illuminates in a single, shadowless wash — these effects do not happen by accident. They require a brand that has done nothing else for its entire existence except master light within the millimetre-tight constraints of cabinetry. ARTCILUX is that brand. This is not a side-product from a five-hardware factory. This is the singular obsession of lighting engineers who work only in cabinets.

☀
4000K Shadowless Field — precision CRI 95+ strips calibrated to eliminate all internal shadows; clothes appear in true colour, every time
⊡
Concealed Routing System — zero-visible wiring, integrated into the cabinet structure at the millimetre level during manufacture
◻
Millimetre-Level Motion Sensing — door-triggered or proximity-activated; no exposed sensors, no surface interruptions
When a hardware conglomerate adds lighting to a catalogue, it is an LED strip with a connector. When ARTCILUX designs lighting, it redesigns the cabinet around the light. The sequence matters.
