Designed as an elongated oval that feels ergonomically-pleasing in the hand, this style of cabinet knob reminds us of a lozenge. A classical shape, the balanced oval is also known as a potato shape, but more recently this shape has evolved into longer, blunted forms as well. Note that these knobs can be placed vertically or horizontally in most instances. Here are our 10 favorites.
