Sanctuary II is the second-generation expansion of Sanctuary — the same sculptural-modern design language with a refined silhouette and subtle detail evolution. Designed to coordinate cleanly with Sanctuary or stand alone in contemporary and transitional kitchens.
What's evolved in Sanctuary II
The Sanctuary II silhouette is slightly more refined at the terminations — softer transitions between shaft and end caps, marginally more curvature in the body. The differences are deliberate and small. Where Sanctuary reads as sculptural-modern, Sanctuary II reads as sculptural-modern with a touch more residential warmth.
For kitchens specifying both: many designers use Sanctuary on appliance-scale pulls (where the more architectural silhouette holds at distance) and Sanctuary II on standard cabinet pulls (where the residential warmth lands at hand-scale). Both directions work.
The kitchens Sanctuary II suits
Transitional and refined-modern kitchens. Painted shaker cabinetry that wants subtle modern edge. Quartz or warm-toned marble counters. Houses that lean residential rather than architectural in their design ambitions.
If Sanctuary II is your primary collection, it pairs cleanly across rooms with the broader Top Knobs ecosystem. Pemberton bath fittings; Coddington trim hardware. The visual language carries.
Sanctuary II in the right finish
The refined silhouette carries warm finishes especially well. Honey Bronze reads transitional-current. Brushed Satin Nickel reads refined-cool. Flat Black takes Sanctuary II into softer-graphic territory than Matte Black would.
