Exotic Metals
Two materials that have been used by man since the bronze age, copper and zinc are truly timeless materials. Whether a project seeks to achieve a modern or contemporary look, these archetypal materials can accommodate any design. With unique properties that allow both products to only improve with age, these products share a symbiotic relationship with time. Copper alloy provides a beautiful and unique patina process that is characteristic to its environment. Zinc, available in a wide range of pre-weathered colours will protect itself over time as it interacts with the exterior environment. Tooled by our ancestors and used by today's architects, exotic metals add a rich lustre that will make your project stand against the test of time.
