Artisan Craftsmanship & Specifications

Each copper tabletop begins as a heavy-gauge sheet of premium recycled copper, cut to a perfect circle. Artisans anneal the metal to achieve optimal malleability, then employ planishing hammers in rhythmic passes to create a uniform, dimpled texture. This hand-hammering technique not only adds strength through work hardening but also captures and reflects ambient light in dynamic patterns. The oxidized honey patina is developed through a carefully controlled application of natural patination solutions—citric acid washes followed by gentle buffing—to enhance warmth and depth.

Copper as a Decorative Element

Copper’s use as a decorative element dates back thousands of years, prized by ancient civilizations for its warm, glowing appearance and malleability. In classical antiquity, copper accents were incorporated into statues, jewelry, and architectural details—its distinctive hue symbolizing wealth and craftsmanship. Over time, artisans discovered that copper’s natural patination process, which occurs when the metal reacts with air and moisture, added unique character and depth to surfaces. What began as a simple protective oxidation soon became celebrated for the rich green and blue-green tones it imparted, making copper a sought-after material in both indoor and outdoor settings.

During the Renaissance and Baroque periods, copper cladding adorned church domes and palace roofs, often gilded or left to develop a verdant patina that contrasted elegantly with stone façades. In interior design, copper was used for ornate hoods, decorative panels, and furniture inlays—its reflective surface enhancing candlelight and natural illumination. The Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries revived interest in exposed metal finishes, with copper planished and hammered by hand to emphasize the beauty of manual labor. Designers intentionally left hammer marks and rivets visible, celebrating the material’s artisanal origins.

In contemporary interiors, copper remains a favorite for adding warmth and visual interest. From sleek kitchen backsplashes to statement lighting fixtures and tabletops, copper’s versatility allows it to blend with wood, stone, and glass. Its living patina continues to evolve over the life of an installation, ensuring that each piece tells a story of usage and time. Moreover, copper’s antimicrobial properties make it both a beautiful and practical choice for high-touch areas like countertops and hardware. Whether polished to a bright gleam or antiqued to a soft, muted glow, copper endures as a decorative element that balances tradition with modern sophistication.
