as in Brass, Bronze and Copper is the hottest trend this spring. The first question that comes into my mind when thinking about these 3 different? materials is what is the difference? Curious as I am I had to look it up. So here comes a quick lesson in chemistry! Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin and Copper is actually the only material that is pure.
So what is the difference in color?
Bronze, slightly goldish, brass has a greenish tone into it and finally copper is more reddish.
Great now when we have that sorted out let’s see how these quite traditional materials can be used in a more contemporary setting.
The designer that has picked up this trend the most this spring is Tom Dixon
His Void lamp is an interesting piece. Having lived in Chicago I cannot help thinking about Anish Kapoor’s Cloud gate………
I’m sure he must have passed by here………
His Block table with a granite top and copper legs. The copper really gives it a sleek and shiny look and a great contrast to the black top.
Yes his passion for brass goes all the way into the kitchen! Pretty cool don’t you think? Especially if you want something else in a contemporary kitchen than white and grey! The kitchen “Beam” is a metamorphosis of an art installation and an industrial kitchen.
The fridge is just simply gorgeous! It’s a design for a danish company Lindholt Studio
Another Tom Dixon lamp
Peter Legge Associates is an Irish architectural firm that designed this beautiful cottage in Connemara Ireland. And of course I couldn’t resist when I saw these copper lamps.
You can actually rent this cottage click on their name to see more pictures of this beautiful little place.
Copper really brings warmth into a contemporary setting. And on a fire place it is as if the copper is reflected in the fire or vice versa! but a great combination.
The American luxury bathroom company Kallista carries these beautiful faucets “Trinidad”
“wavelet” wouldn’t mind washing my hands in this one.
The Swedish company Klong has given an updated touch on the timeless oil lamp “Patina” designed by Broberg och Riddarstrale.
And here are a few pictures I took at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm in February.
