Materials and finishes

Brass, bronze and steel, finished by hand

The finish is where custom metal is won or lost. We do it in our own shop, so the people who welded the piece are the people who make it look right.

Mill scale kept, ground off or chemically darkened, then sealed. The look of raw steel, made to live indoors.

Soffits, canopies, plaques and trim in brass sheet and bar, fitted so the seams disappear.

Handrails, returns and cladding in bronze, shaped and finished for hands.

Stainless 304 and 316, TIG-welded on pure argon, then brushed to a grain or polished to a mirror.

Any color the architect calls for, from blackened bronze to Blu Dot tomato red.

Treads, paneling, banquettes and millwork from our woodshop, so the wood and the steel meet right.
